Data Protection and the Cloud - Are you really managing the risks?

With a view to helping managers ask the right questions, Data Protection and the Cloud explains how you can effectively manage the risks associated with the Cloud and meet regulatory requirements. This book discusses:



The controller-processor relationship and what you should pay attention to;
How to mitigate security risks in the Cloud to comply with Article 32 of the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation);
How to comply with Chapter V of the GDPR when transferring data to third countries; and
The implications of the NIS Directive (Directive on security of network and information systems) for Cloud providers.

One of the most dramatic recent developments in computing has been the rapid adoption of Cloud applications. According to the 2018 Bitglass Cloud Adoption Report, more than 81% of organisations have now adopted the Cloud in some form, compared with only 24% in 2014. And there are no signs that this is slowing down.

The GDPR was enforced on 25 May 2018, superseding the 1995 Data Protection Directive and all local implementations. Bringing data protection into the 21st century, the Regulation expands the rights of individuals, but also introduces new, stricter requirements for organisations. This pocket guide discusses the GDPR requirements relating to Cloud sourcing and the risks involved.
