Compliance
Compliance refers to the need to meet statutory, regulatory and policy requirements within any sector. Any individual or company in the EU which enters into a contract with a cloud computing provider outside the EU/EEA, for instance, must adhere to the EU’s regulations on export of personal data. One of the difficulties with compliance is that all existing legislation pertaining to data storage and personal privacy assumes that the organisation gathering the information and the organisation holding the information are one and the same: cloud computing changes all that and there’s still some way to go before legislation can cope with some of the issues thrown up by the cloud.
On top of that, some countries within the EU have their own data protection legislation, complicating matters further.
