      abstract = {The Framework for Data Governance and Compliance Across Distributed Multicloud Infrastructures provides a comprehensive model for managing data integrity, privacy, and regulatory alignment in increasingly complex hybrid and multicloud environments. As organizations adopt distributed computing to enhance scalability, resilience, and performance, they face significant challenges in maintaining consistent governance across heterogeneous platforms operated by multiple providers. This framework establishes a unified governance architecture that integrates policy-based orchestration, automated compliance auditing, and federated identity management to ensure data sovereignty, accountability, and interoperability across diverse cloud ecosystems.At its core, the framework emphasizes data classification, lifecycle management, and access control standardization. Sensitive data are categorized by regulatory requirement and security level, while dynamic policies enforce encryption, anonymization, and retention protocols in accordance with frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. By leveraging federated metadata catalogs and distributed ledgers, the system enables traceable data provenance and immutable audit trails across hybrid environments. A zero-trust security paradigm further ensures that all access requests are continuously verified, regardless of origin, thereby mitigating insider threats and cross-cloud vulnerabilities.The framework also integrates AI-driven compliance monitoring to detect policy violations, automate reporting, and support adaptive governance in real time. Through interoperable APIs and compliance-as-code implementations, organizations can harmonize data policies across public, private, and edge cloud resources while maintaining jurisdictional and contractual adherence.In promoting transparency and resilience, this framework underscores the importance of cross-sector collaboration among regulators, cloud providers, and enterprises. By unifying governance, security, and compliance strategies, it advances a scalable model for secure data management in distributed infrastructuresenabling innovation, regulatory trust, and sustainable digital transformation in the multicloud era.},
