From an organisational perspective, outsourcing infrastructure is the safest and cost effective way to meet Regulatory & Compliance requirements.
When you run your own servers, not only do you need to maintain them, you are also responsible for their certification and getting them audited.
As a manager in a medium sized company, I think it is essential to identify what "needs building" and what could be bought to ensure the needs of stakeholders are met in a timely manner.
- dijit 5y agoHeh, time was "compliance" was the reason to host your own services. It is a lot easier to be compliant with many things if you're hosting your own services. Back when I was working in eCommerce (PCI-DSS Tier 1, Cardholder data on premises) it was basically impossible to use hosted services. As then, it is now: "Compliance" is just enough nebulous of a word to prevent critical thinking.
- PradeetPatel 5y agoI wouldn't call compliance a deterrence to critical thinking. The end goal for any business is to make a profit, if an option exists that complies with industry standards, which also happens to be the most inexpensive one in terms of resourcing, it would be foolish not to take it.
