BACKGROUND The complicated nature of cloud computing encompassing internet-based technologies and service models for delivering IT applications, processing capability, storage, and memory space and some notable features motivate organizations to migrate their core businesses to the cloud. Consequently, healthcare organizations are much interested to migrate to this new paradigm despite challenges about security, privacy and compliances issues. OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to investigate all related cloud compliances in health domain in order to find gaps in this context. METHODS All works on cloud compliance issues were surveyed after 2013 in health domain in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE Digital Library databases. RESULTS Totally, 36 compliances had been found in this domain used in different countries for a variety of purposes. Initially, all founded compliances were divided into three parts as well as five standards, twenty-eight legislations and three policies and guidelines each of which is presented here by in detail. CONCLUSIONS Then, some main headlines like compliance management, data management, data governance, information security services, medical ethics, and patients' rights were recommended in terms of any compliance or frameworks and their corresponding patterns which should be involved in this domain.

Security in cloud is to be increased to strengthen the confidence and trust of cloud service consumers. In the upcoming years, the scientific research and education teams will have to investigate finding new ways to handle the issue of cloud security. This chapter discusses the major threats and their impact on clouds, security measures to handle the attacks in clouds, security as a service in research and education, and steps to enhance security feature in clouds.

Cloud computing is a network model of on-demand access for sharing configurable computing resource pools. Compared with conventional service architectures, cloud computing introduces new security challenges in secure service management and control, privacy protection, data integrity protection in distributed databases, data backup, and synchronization. Blockchain can be leveraged to address these challenges, partly due to the underlying characteristics such as transparency, traceability, decentralization, security, immutability, and automation. We present a comprehensive survey of how blockchain is applied to provide security services in the cloud computing model and we analyze the research trends of blockchain-related techniques in current cloud computing models. During the reviewing, we also briefly investigate how cloud computing can affect blockchain, especially about the performance improvements that cloud computing can provide for the blockchain. Our contributions include the following: (i) summarizing the possible architectures and models of the integration of blockchain and cloud computing and the roles of cloud computing in blockchain; (ii) classifying and discussing recent, relevant works based on different blockchain-based security services in the cloud computing model; (iii) simply investigating what improvements cloud computing can provide for the blockchain; (iv) introducing the current development status of the industry/major cloud providers in the direction of combining cloud and blockchain; (v) analyzing the main barriers and challenges of integrated blockchain and cloud computing systems; and (vi) providing recommendations for future research and improvement on the integration of blockchain and cloud systems.
