Seamlessly Navigate the Cloud with Regulatory Confidence
As the Financial Services Industry faces increasing regulatory scrutiny, compliance with frameworks like the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the UK PRA’s Outsourcing and Third-Party Risk Management guidelines has become essential. Ensuring cloud compliance and managing vendor risk requires a well-defined cloud exit strategy to mitigate disruptions and safeguard critical operations.
At EscapeCloud, we specialize in cloud exit assessment solutions that help enterprises identify risks, evaluate compliance gaps, and develop actionable transition plans. Our solution provides deep insights into cloud dependencies, exit constraints, and alternative cloud migration strategies to support a seamless transition.

Why Is a Cloud Exit Strategy Crucial?
Cloud services offer exceptional uptime and reliability, but recent outages among major providers highlight the risks of complete dependency. Service disruptions can undermine performance, governance, and cost control, leaving organizations exposed. A well-structured exit strategy safeguards business continuity, enabling a seamless transition to an alternative provider or on-premises infrastructure in the event of service failures, sovereignty concerns, or geopolitical disruptions.
Key Considerations

Regulatory Compliance
Both EU and UK regulations require organizations to have documented and tested cloud exit strategies to ensure operational resilience and risk mitigation.

Vendor Lock-In
Exclusive reliance on a single cloud provider limits flexibility and can lead to high exit costs and compliance risks.

Business Continuity
Outages, policy shifts, and geopolitical changes can disrupt operations - having a clear exit plan ensures resilience.
