Industries¶
CSA-in-a-Box vertical implementations for major commercial industries. Each industry page includes the typical analytics + AI scenarios, regulatory landscape, reference architecture variations, and how to start — including which existing tutorials and examples are closest fits.
| Industry | Top scenarios | Compliance focus |
|---|---|---|
| Financial Services | Fraud, AML, customer 360, risk modeling, FRTB | SOC 2, PCI-DSS, SOX, GLBA, Basel III, MiFID II |
| Manufacturing | Digital twin, predictive maintenance, OT/IT convergence, supply chain | NIST CSF, IEC 62443 (OT), ITAR (defense) |
| Retail & CPG | Customer 360, demand forecasting, recommendation, inventory | PCI-DSS, GDPR, CCPA |
| Energy & Utilities | Smart grid, IoT, renewables forecasting, asset performance | NERC CIP, ISO 27019 |
| Telecommunications | Network analytics, churn, fraud, customer experience | GDPR, CPNI, sector-specific regulator |
| Life Sciences & Genomics | Genomics pipelines, clinical analytics, drug discovery | HIPAA, GxP (GLP, GMP, GCP), 21 CFR Part 11 |
Industries vs Use Cases vs Examples — what's the difference?¶
| Section | Audience | Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Industries (you are here) | Buyer / architect deciding "does this platform fit my industry?" | Industry context + scenarios + regulatory + which-example-to-start-with |
| Use Cases | Architect / consultant designing for a specific scenario | Specific scenario walkthrough with Azure services |
| End-to-End Examples | Engineer implementing | Full working code: deploy + contracts + dbt + data + tests |
Read Industries → Use Cases → Examples in that order if you're new.
Federal & Public Sector industries¶
The platform's federal/public-sector industry coverage is significantly deeper and lives under Use Cases — Government & Public Sector:
- DOJ Antitrust, DOT Transportation, FAA Aviation, EPA Environmental, NOAA Climate, NASA Earth Science, Interior Natural Resources, USDA Agriculture, USPS Postal, Commerce Economic
- IHS / Tribal Health
- Federal Cybersecurity & Threat Analytics
These are treated as use-cases rather than industries because each federal agency is genuinely distinct.
