## Who should use Azure Confidential Clean Rooms?
21
21
Azure Confidential Clean Rooms could be a great choice for you if you have these scenarios:
22
22
23
-
- Data analytics and inferencing: Organizations looking to build insights on second-party data while ensuring data privacy can leverage ACCR. ACCR is useful when data providers are concerned about data exfiltration. ACCR ensures that data is only used for agreed purposes and safeguards against unauthorized access or egress (as it is a sandboxed environment).

ACCR ensures that data is only used for agreed purposes and safeguards against unauthorized access or egress (as it's a sandboxed environment).
24
24
- Data privacy ISVs: Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who provide secure multiparty data collaboration services can use ACCR as an extensible platform. It allows them to add enforceable tamperproof contracts with governance and audit capabilities, and uses [Confidential containers or C-ACI](../confidential-computing/confidential-containers.md) underneath to ensure data is encrypted during processing so that their customers' data remains secure.
25
25
- ML fine tuning: ACCR provides a solution to organizations that require data from various sources to train or fine-tune machine learning models but face data sharing regulations. It allows any party to audit and confirm that data is being used only for the agreed purpose, such as ML modeling.
26
-
- ML inferencing: Organizations can leverage ACCR in machine learning (ML) inferencing to enable secure, collaborative data analysis without compromising privacy or data ownership. ACCR acts as secure environment where multiple parties can combine sensitive data and apply ML models for inferencing while keeping raw data inaccessible to others.

Azure Confidential Clean Rooms (ACCR) provides a secure and compliant environment for multi-party data collaboration. Built on [Confidential containers or C-ACI](../confidential-computing/confidential-containers.md), ACCR ensures that sensitive data remains protected throughout the collaboration process. Here are some key benefits of using Azure Confidential Clean Rooms:

- Secure collaboration and governance:
42
-
ACCR allows collaborators to create tamper-proof contracts. ACCR also enforces all the constraints which are part of the contract. Governance ensures validity of constraints before allowing data to be released into clean rooms and drives transparency amongst collaborators by generating tamper-proof audit trails. ACCR uses the open-sourced [confidential consortium framework](https://microsoft.github.io/CCF/main/overview/what_is_ccf.html) to enable these capabilities.

- Compliance:
44
44
Confidential computing can address some of the regulatory and privacy concerns by providing a secure environment for data collaboration. This capability is beneficial for industries such as financial services, healthcare, and telecom, which deal with highly sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII).
45
45
- Enhanced data security:
46
46
ACCR is built using confidential computing to provide a hardware-based, trusted execution environment (TEE). This environment is sandboxed and allows only authorized workloads to execute and prevents unauthorized access to data or code during processing, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure.
47
47
- Verifiable trust at each step with the help of cryptographic remote attestation forms the cornerstone of Azure Confidential Clean Rooms.
