Author Name : Hitesh Parmar

The increasing migration of organizations to cloud environments necessitates robust security incident response frameworks. This study empirically investigates the impact of compliance-driven strategies on the effectiveness of cloud security incident response. Quantitative analysis reveals that organizations adhering to standards like GDPR and ISO 27001 achieved a 30% faster incident detection rate and a 25% reduction in average response times compared to non-compliant organizations. This improvement in incident management, reported by 70% of surveyed organizations, highlights the significant role of compliance in enhancing security posture. However, the study also identifies challenges, including the complexity of compliance requirements and resource limitations reported by 62% of participants. This research contributes valuable insights for practitioners seeking to optimize their cloud security incident response plans by demonstrating the tangible benefits of compliance while acknowledging associated implementation challenges.
