Architecting for HIPAA or PCI DSS compliance
WHAT IT TESTS: building auditable, compliant data handling. OUTLINE: isolate sensitive data in restricted networks and accounts, encrypt at rest and in transit with managed keys, enforce least-privilege access, and keep immutable audit logs.
WHAT IT TESTS: translating a compliance standard into concrete cloud controls across isolation, encryption, and audit. ANSWER OUTLINE: isolate the regulated data in dedicated accounts and private subnets, minimizing scope; encrypt at rest with customer-managed keys and in transit with TLS; enforce least-privilege IAM with MFA and just-in-time access; tokenize or minimize sensitive fields; and maintain immutable, centralized audit logs with retention. Note the shared responsibility line.
