Cloud & Infrastructure Solutions for Regulated Industries: Compliance, Security, and Innovation

In highly regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and energy, the journey to the cloud is both a strategic imperative and a complex challenge. Organizations in these industries must balance the promise of cloud-driven innovation and agility with the uncompromising demands of compliance, data security, and operational resilience. Publicis Sapient specializes in helping regulated enterprises modernize their infrastructure—enabling transformation while meeting the strictest regulatory and security requirements.

Navigating the Regulatory Landscape in the Cloud

Regulated industries face a unique set of challenges when adopting cloud infrastructure. Compliance with frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS is non-negotiable, and the stakes for data breaches or non-compliance are high. Publicis Sapient’s approach is rooted in a deep understanding of these regulatory environments, ensuring that every cloud and infrastructure solution is designed with compliance and security at its core. This includes:

Building Secure, Compliant, and Agile Cloud Foundations

A secure and well-governed cloud foundation is essential for regulated organizations. Publicis Sapient establishes robust landing zones that serve as the bedrock for compliant cloud deployments. These landing zones incorporate:

By leveraging infrastructure as code (IaC) and automation, every environment is built consistently, repeatably, and in alignment with security best practices. This approach not only accelerates deployment but also reduces human error—a critical factor in maintaining compliance.

Data Governance and Observability

Effective data governance is at the heart of compliance. Publicis Sapient’s solutions provide:

Cloud-agnostic observability frameworks eliminate the need for disparate tools, providing a single pane of glass for monitoring utilization, performance, and security across your entire infrastructure.

Security by Design: Zero Trust and Beyond

Security is not an afterthought—it is embedded at every stage of the cloud journey. Publicis Sapient’s security mesh approach connects security controls across your cloud landscape, enabling proactive threat detection and rapid response. Zero Trust principles ensure least-privilege access and continuous verification, while cloud networks are fortified with intelligent segmentation and multilayered perimeters. Key features include:

Enabling Innovation Without Compromise

While compliance and security are paramount, regulated organizations must also innovate to stay competitive. Publicis Sapient’s cloud and infrastructure services are designed to unlock agility and foster continuous improvement:
