What to look for if compliance is the priority

When evaluating providers, security teams usually care about:

• Immutability / WORM storage
• Encryption at rest and in transit
• Role-based access control and least privilege
• Audit logs and reporting
• Retention and legal hold
• Data residency / region controls
• Certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, depending on needs
• Ransomware recovery features
• Key management options such as customer-managed keys
