Azure Database for PostgreSQL: 15 Essential Standards for Compliance and Security
Our team recently inherited multiple Azure Databases for PostgreSQL and discovered the lack of uniform implementation for essential items such as Private Endpoints, Authentication Methods, Backup Retention, Diagnostics Settings, Compute Type, and High Availability.
Uniform standard implementation at the workplace for your PostgreSQL database (even when hosted in Azure) ensures compliance with regulations like GDPR, SOX, PCI DSS, and HIPAA. These regulations ensure institutions maintain robust security measures and audit trails to protect sensitive data and comply with legal requirements, especially in industries like finance and healthcare. Failure to comply with industry regulations can lead to monetary fines, civil penalties, operational restrictions, and, most importantly, reputation damage.
In this session, you will receive a practical checklist of fifteen standards, their importance explained, and actionable insights about implementing them across your company.
