What feature ensures that Autonomous Database remains compliant with regulations?

The feature that ensures Autonomous Database remains compliant with regulations is the automation of security controls and audits. This capability enables the database to continuously apply security measures and perform regular audits without requiring extensive manual intervention. Automated security controls help identify vulnerabilities and ensure that data handling practices align with regulatory requirements.

By automating these processes, Autonomous Database can maintain up-to-date security standards, respond swiftly to any compliance issues, and reduce the risk of human error that could lead to non-compliance. This not only increases efficiency but also enhances the overall security posture of the database environment, allowing organizations to confidently manage sensitive data while adhering to various regulations.

In contrast, regular user training sessions, while beneficial, do not directly ensure compliance as they focus on educating users rather than automating security measures. Annual compliance reports track the status of compliance but do not actively enforce or maintain compliance. Manual verification of compliance is more prone to human error and can be time-consuming, making it less effective than automated solutions in ensuring continuous compliance.
