10.1 Future Considerations
Include a wider range of internationally recognized frameworks, e.g. European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) guidelines, GDPR for the EU, and other regional standards such as Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)
Extend guidance on scalability taking into consideration diverse needs of nations with varying geographic and demographic contexts (e.g. geo-distributed architectures and multi-region deployments) and edge computing for improving service delivery in remote or underserved areas
Investigate where zero trust security should be included
Add requirements on data residency and thereby addressing the need for critical data to be stored within national borders or in compliant jurisdictions
Highlight the importance and impact of Service Level Agreements (SLA) and multi-vendor strategies to meet stringent uptime and redundancy requirements
Include strategies for implementing FinOps and provide guidelines on designing cost-effective, sustainable cloud infrastructures that align with global sustainability goals
