How does Confidential Computing help with regulatory compliance requirements?

Safeguarding sensitive data: Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) or Secure Enclaves protect sensitive data while it is processed, which can be crucial for adhering to laws like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI DSS.

Establishing audit trails: Organizations can track who has accessed sensitive data and when. This helps prove compliance with laws like SOX or FISMA.

Facilitating secure data sharing: Confidential computing can also enable secure data exchange between various parties, such as in blockchain or multi-party machine learning scenarios while ensuring that the sensitive data is kept private and secure.

Fulfilling the requirements for data residency: According to laws such as the Cloud Act and the GDPR, organizations must store certain categories of data in specific geographic regions or jurisdictions.

Confidential computing meets these requirements by enabling sensitive data to be processed in a safe and isolated environment, whether hosted in a cloud or multi-tenant environment.
