Meet Compliance Requirements

When data originates from a non-FedRAMP region (for example, data centers outside the United States or non-FedRAMP authorized cloud regions), several compliance challenges arise. The United States government cares about the methods of storing and transporting sensitive data and, as a customer handling this data and moving between CSPs, you must ensure that your methods of protecting data meet the compliance your end user government expects against the compliance standards they’ve required for each step in the movement of this data.

To ensure compliance, do the following:

• Data Classification and Compliance Review

  Before transferring data to Oracle Government Cloud, classify the data based on sensitivity. Identify any sensitive or regulated data that requires additional protection and compliance measures. Conduct a thorough review of data sources to ensure compliance with FedRAMP requirements.

• Encryption and Data Protection

  Encrypt data at rest and in transit to maintain data confidentiality and integrity. Ensure that strong encryption standards are followed, and certificates are up to date.

• Compliance Validation with Oracle Government Cloud FastConnect

  Collaborate with Oracle Government Cloud and Megaport to verify compliance requirements specific to the connection. Understand any additional security measures mandated by Oracle FastConnect.

• Establishing Connectivity via Megaport

  Leverage Megaport's services to establish a secure and high-performance connection between Azure ExpressRoute and Oracle FastConnect. Follow Megaport's documentation and guidelines to set up the interconnection.

• Auditing and Monitoring

  Implement comprehensive monitoring and auditing mechanisms to track data movement and identify any anomalies. Regularly review logs and access controls to maintain data visibility and governance.

• Security Best Practices
  • Utilize Virtual Cross Connects (VXCs) over Megaport to segregate traffic and ensure data privacy.
  • Implement firewall rules and network access controls to restrict unauthorized access.
  • Enable threat detection and response mechanisms to mitigate security risks.
  • Regularly update security policies and configurations to stay current with compliance standards.
