Explanation

Financial services (banking regulations, SOX, Gramm-Leach-Bliley), healthcare (HIPAA, HITECH), and public companies (SEC rules, Sarbanes-Oxley) are all subject to extensive regulatory oversight with strict compliance requirements. Wholesale or distribution businesses, while subject to general commerce laws, do not operate under the same level of strict industry-specific regulatory mandates that define a 'highly regulated environment' in the context of cloud compliance.
