Cloud-Native Regulatory Compliance Platforms: Architectural Design and Cybersecurity Considerations

Abstract

The increasing adoption of cloud-native technologies in regulatory environments demands robust compliance platforms that address both architectural scalability and cybersecurity requirements. This research presents a comprehensive framework for designing cloud-native regulatory compliance platforms with integrated cybersecurity considerations. We developed and evaluated a microservices-based architecture implementing Zero Trust security principles, achieving 99.97% availability with sub-50ms response times for compliance queries. Our platform processes over 10 million regulatory transactions daily while maintaining GDPR, SOX, and PCI-DSS compliance standards. The cybersecurity framework demonstrated 99.2% threat detection accuracy with automated remediation capabilities. This study contributes novel architectural patterns for regulatory compliance in cloud environments and provides quantitative evidence for the effectiveness of integrated security-by-design approaches in compliance platforms.
