Evaluation criteria for cloud computing based on the upcoming European data protection regulation
Manfred Halper, Stefan Fenz, Johannes Göllner · 2014
The European Union released a proposal on the protection on individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data. One goal of the Data protection Regulation is to form the statutory framework to facilitate the adoption of cloud technology by Small and Medium Enterprises and mitigate the risks stemming from introducing Cloud Computing Service Providers (CCSP) into their supply chain networks. The developed evaluation criteria stemming from the Regulation should help SMEs to assess CCSPs for compliance and their capability of handling modern security and privacy objectives.
