Andrew Yeomans from the Jericho Forum is a very smart person. I have had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times and he has impressed me every time. He is also the reason why AppGate (the company I co-founded) is a proud member of the Jericho Forum. I read an article today where he asked some very good questions about cloud computing.
Here is a short summary:
When you repatriate data from a cloud provider, taking it back into your own internal systems, how can you be sure that no trace of that data resides on their own systems? What leaks might exist between the cloud service back into our own infrastructure? Does the provider adhere to the same physical, logical and personnel controls that are applied to our own internal systems? What will happen if the provider goes bust?
These are all important things to consider before you jump into the cloud! If you do not have the answer….you should not take the dive.
