You’ve secured funding and support to launch your new cloud-based strategy with a business case, vendor short list and project plan all finalised. Well, how about understanding your compliance obligations?
Whilst moving to the cloud has become an increasingly popular business strategy, securing compliance in the cloud can be significantly more difficult. The task of Googling a “cloud compliance checklist” is likely to surface more questions than answers. You’ll likely spend more time filtering through sales material than finding any practical guidance on the topic. Seek technical help Fortunately, you’re not alone and the places to ask for help aren’t always obvious. Whilst larger organisations typically have in-house risk and legal teams, it may not be as easy for Chief Information Officers who don’t have access to dedicated internal resources. As a result, you may need to carefully consider the cost-benefit of hiring or appointing external technology risk professionals or compliance specialists with prior cloud experience to help you achieve your objectives. You may also want to consider audit firms that offer consulting services or specialised businesses such as managed security service providers. Whether you hire or outsource this capability, the key to delivering quality outcomes is by ensuring you have the right mix of capabilities to understand your compliance obligations and deliver your project. Determine what’s important Once you have capabilities sourced, you’ll need to identify what your compliance obligations are. This is where investing time upfront will help you mitigate the emergence of last-minute surprises that can derail a project.
