Cloud Governance

Cloud governance is a set of rules you create, monitor, and amend as necessary in order to control costs, improve efficiency, and eliminate security risks. There may be other areas of your cloud operations that require governance, but these will become apparent when you first start pulling together the components that will eventually form your rules of governance.

Before you start creating rules of governance, you need to know what assets are already deployed in the cloud, how they work together, and what security risks exist. The best way of doing this is to use a cloud management solution that gives you total visibility over your cloud account(s) in order to compile an inventory of your assets, analyze their relationships, and identify security vulnerabilities.

You should then optimize your assets for costs and performance to get a starting point for future capacity planning and budgeting. This may involve exchanging one provider´s services for another provider´s service in order to take advantage of discounted pricing structures or more suitable services, but is something you should be able to manage easily with a suitable cloud management solution.

Once your assets are optimized, and you are armed with reports evaluating costs and performance by department, you can then collaborate with different departments in your business to create the rules of governance. As mentioned above, in addition to creating the rules, you have to have processes in place to accommodate flexibility and revisions, and policies in place to govern the security of your network.

Security policies are without doubt the most important element of cloud governance. Without effective policies in place—and effective monitoring of the policies—it is just a question of when, not if, your network will be infiltrated. Security policies not only need to be applied to assets deployed in the cloud, but also to areas such as access control, security groups, and encryption key management.

Cloud governance creates an opportunity for bankers to connect with their users directly. Digital services maintain the customer relations anywhere and anytime through cloud computing. With the help of the internet, many services like storing, managing and accessing the information have become easier for both the bankers and the consumers. Cloud governance is an easy method to deploy and integrate with all the services of the bank system which decreases the time and effort of the user.

The evolution of cloud governance enabled the banks to focus more on the customer-centric model and digitalizing the trading & wealth. Cloud computing creates a multi-channel relationship with the customers at every aspect of the service. It helps in storing, backup and recovering huge data of the company. Not only the storing of the data, various other services like delivering the software, transferring the data, Updating and recovering of data is very easy through cloud computing technology. Cloud governance also increases the turnover of the banks by integrating cost-effective cloud computing.
