Abstract:
Cloud computing has revolutionized data storage and access, but ensuring compliance in cloud backups is a pressing concern. This paper explores best practices in encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and auditing to secure cloud backups while maintaining compliance with industry standards. We discuss the significance of encryption methodologies, MFA's role in access control, and auditing mechanisms that ensure transparency and security. A thorough literature review highlights current research gaps, and our proposed methodology demonstrates a secure framework integrating these best practices. We present results from simulations and real-world implementations, analyzing the effectiveness of encryption algorithms, authentication strategies, and auditing techniques. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for enterprises aiming to strengthen compliance in cloud backups.

Keywords: Cloud Backup, Compliance, Encryption, Multi-Factor Authentication, Auditing, Data Security, Cybersecurity, Regulatory Standards.
