Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

After becoming the first major US bank to exit on-premise data centers entirely, the entity implemented a robust cloud governance framework. This included automated policy enforcement for data access (Snowflake Row-Level Security) and a custom metadata management tool to ensure all cloud data remained compliant with banking regulations.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"The benchmark for cloud governance in regulated industries. By successfully closing all data centers, the entity proved that cloud governance can exceed on-premise security. Their open-source contributions (Cloud Custodian) demonstrate mature governance-as-code."

warning The Challenge

Operating fully in the cloud requires a different governance model than perimeter-based on-premise security. The bank needed to ensure that thousands of developers could provision resources without accidentally exposing sensitive customer financial data to the public internet.

psychology The Solution

The bank adopted Snowflake for its data warehouse, utilizing dynamic data masking and role-based access control (RBAC). They built and open-sourced 'Cloud Custodian', a rules engine that automatically detects and remediates non-compliant cloud resources (e.g., an unencrypted S3 bucket).
