# FSI Enterprise Cloud Governance Lens for Regulated Organisations

The FSI Enterprise Cloud Governance Lens for Regulated Organisations is designed to assist customers
assessing their compliance with principles-based regulators such as APRA, RBMZ, MAS, HKMA and PRA.

While not a replacement for a formal engagement, this Lens provides directional guidance
to help customers understand their compliance obligations. Principles-based regulators require 
diligence to ensure that a sufficient amount of detail is included, and that new or
 emerging challenges are understood and handled.

After completing the custom lens, you will have a good sense for the key gaps in your compliance across the following five areas:

1. Foundational
2. Capability
3. Risk
4. Business Continuity
5. Communications

## Intended Audience

Technology roles, such as chief technology officers (CTOs), architects, developers, engineers, and operations team members, as well as individuals in risk, compliance, and audit functions.
