A system comprising:

• data processing hardware of a distributed computing system;
• and
• memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a first requestor, a first access request requesting access to a first project of a plurality of projects hosted by the distributed computing system, each project of the plurality of projects comprising respective project data governed by a respective compliance regime, each respective compliance regime enforcing one or more respective compliance requirements for accessing the respective project data;
• for each respective compliance requirement of the one or more respective compliance requirements of the first project, determining that the first access request satisfies the respective compliance requirement;
• based on determining that the first access request satisfies each respective compliance requirement of the one or more respective compliance requirements, granting the first requestor access to the first project;
• receiving, from a second requestor, a second access request requesting access to a second project of the plurality of projects;
• for one of the one or more respective compliance requirements of the second project, determining that the second access request fails to satisfy the one of the one or more respective compliance requirements;
• and
• based on determining that the second access request fails to satisfy the one of the one or more respective compliance requirements of the second project, denying the second requestor access to the second project.
