Laws and Security

Cloud compliance as an overall concept is about complying with the laws and regulations that apply to using the cloud. This becomes even more of an imperative when there is cross country data processing on the one hand or strong local laws on the other. There could be an array of laws - data protection laws, data localization laws and data sovereignty laws. In addition, you may need to consider interception laws or access to information laws, which may enable Governments or others to access your data in the cloud. There could also be a situation where multi-country laws may also apply. There is a significant overlap between security and compliance. Security is a companion to compliance.
