For secure data handling due to export control regulations, running on the client's virtual machines

without connecting through an enterprise VPN, the combination of a private cloud and infrastructure

Reference: NIST SP 800-145, which provides guidelines on cloud computing and defines private cloud

and IaaS models for enhanced security and control.
