Cloud Compliance
Cloud compliance support for HealthTech teams that need better evidence, controls and confidence
IG CloudOps helps HealthTech and healthcare SaaS teams improve the technical cloud controls, documentation, monitoring and evidence needed to support audits, customer assurance, NHS supplier readiness and internal governance.
- Cloud control and evidence reviews
- Access, logging and monitoring improvements
- Backup, resilience and incident evidence
- AWS and Azure governance support
- DSPT and supplier assurance evidence support
- UK GDPR-aware cloud security practices
Many HealthTech teams have controls — but cannot evidence them clearly
Compliance reviews, NHS supplier checks, security questionnaires and customer assurance processes often expose the same problem: the cloud environment may be reasonably well built, but the evidence is scattered, incomplete or difficult to explain.
No clear asset inventory
Hard to evidence what exists, what is in scope, and who owns it.
Incomplete access review evidence
Access reviews happen informally, but cannot be evidenced to an auditor.
Unclear backup and recovery evidence
Backups exist, but recovery has not been tested or documented.
Logging is hard to query
Logs are captured but not centralised, retained or searchable in useful ways.
Monitoring does not map to critical services
Infrastructure is monitored, but customer-facing outcomes are not.
No clear incident response trail
Incidents are resolved, but lessons and timelines are not recorded.
Inconsistent cloud policies
Policies exist on paper but are not enforced through tooling.
Unclear third-party dependencies
Cloud suppliers and integrations are not mapped to risk or data flow.
Hard-to-trace infrastructure changes
Manual changes leave no clear audit trail.
Security findings without priority
Scan results pile up with no risk-based remediation plan.
Technical cloud compliance support
Cloud evidence review
Identify what evidence exists, what is missing, and what needs improvement.
Access control and privilege review
Review IAM, Entra ID, privileged users, roles, policies, service accounts and access reviews.
Logging and audit trail improvement
Improve cloud logging, retention, alerting and audit trail availability.
Backup and recovery evidence
Review backup configuration, recovery assumptions, test evidence and documentation.
Monitoring and incident evidence
Improve alerting, incident records, dashboards, runbooks and response visibility.
Cloud governance controls
Improve tagging, policy, environment separation, ownership, change control and documentation.
Security remediation planning
Prioritise technical fixes based on impact, effort and assurance value.
Procurement and questionnaire support
Help technical teams respond more clearly to cloud security and assurance questions.
Cloud areas that often matter in HealthTech assurance
IG CloudOps does not provide legal, clinical safety or formal audit advice. We support the technical cloud evidence and operational controls that often sit behind assurance, procurement and compliance activity.

How a cloud compliance readiness review works
- 1
Understand assurance drivers
NHS supplier requirements, customer questionnaires, governance, audits, procurement or investor due diligence.
- 2
Review your cloud estate
AWS and/or Azure architecture, identity, access, logging, backup, monitoring, data flows and operations.
- 3
Map technical evidence gaps
Identify what you can evidence today, what is missing, and what needs improvement.
- 4
Prioritise remediation
Separate urgent risks from quick wins and longer-term maturity improvements.
- 5
Support implementation
Help your team improve controls, documentation, dashboards, runbooks and cloud operating practices.
Create a clearer cloud evidence pack
For many HealthTech teams, the fastest improvement is not another tool. It is creating a clearer evidence pack that explains how the cloud environment is secured, monitored, backed up, governed and supported.
- Cloud architecture overview
- Environment separation notes
- Identity and access summary
- Privileged access evidence
- Backup and recovery evidence
- Monitoring and alerting summary
- Incident response process
- Logging and audit trail overview
- Data flow and integration notes
- Cost and resource ownership model
- Key risks and remediation plan
- Cloud operations runbook

Cloud compliance FAQs
Can IG CloudOps make us compliant?+
No provider can simply make a HealthTech business compliant from the outside. We help improve the technical cloud controls, evidence and operational practices that support your compliance and assurance work.
Can you help with DSPT evidence?+
Yes — we can help with technical cloud evidence such as access, logging, monitoring, backup, incident response and operational controls. We do not act as your formal auditor.
Can you help with UK GDPR cloud security?+
We can help with the cloud security, access, logging, data flow and operational controls that support UK GDPR-aware handling of health-related data. Legal basis and formal DPO advice should come from your data protection adviser.
Can you support ISO 27001 evidence?+
Yes. We help technical teams prepare clearer cloud evidence for ISO 27001-aligned controls — access, logging, asset visibility, backup, incident response and supplier assurance.
Can you work with our compliance team?+
Yes. We often work alongside CTOs, engineering teams, compliance leads, DPOs and external auditors.
Can you help us answer customer security questionnaires?+
Yes. We help technical teams evidence cloud controls more clearly when responding to customer or procurement security questions.
