[ryantyagi92]

When it comes to compliance in India, not all cloud models are created equal. As regulatory focus on data residency, data sovereignty, and security increases — especially for BFSI, healthcare, and government workloads — the choice between private and public cloud becomes crucial.

In this blog, we break down:
🔹 Data residency and sovereign cloud needs
🔹 Security differences & risk exposure
🔹 Regulatory considerations (DPDP, RBI, sector mandates)
🔹 Where hybrid models make sense

Understanding compliance nuances helps you choose the right cloud strategy for your enterprise.

In India, cloud compliance often ties into multiple obligations such as:

Data residency & sovereignty — sensitive or personal data must remain within India’s borders or meet regulatory conditions.

Sectoral rules — RBI, IRDAI, CERT-In & MeitY guidelines apply to specific industries.

New privacy regime — Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 create formal rights and duties for data storage, processing, breach reporting, and cross-border transfer.

Use private cloud or sovereign deployment for regulated/sensitive workloads and public cloud for agility/scale where compliance risk is lower — ideally orchestrated via hybrid cloud governance.
