5. Privacy and Data Security in the Cloud

MBBP Privacy & Data Security Series - #5: Attorney Howard Zaharoff points out some of the most important legal considerations for both IT cloud service vendors and business users of cloud services.
Whether it is software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service - if it involves the processing and storage of personal information, then privacy and data security become absolutely key issues.
Businesses must make sure their cloud vendor is able to and agrees to adhere to data security and privacy laws, but ultimately the legal responsibility falls to the business that is collecting and storing personal information.
Attorneys at Morse are experienced in advising both users and cloud service providers in the many requirements of privacy law and their associated contracts.
