At C4L we understand that the topic of cloud computing often raises a number of questions and issues surrounding security. As a result of this, we thought it useful to identify a few top security tips that every organisation should consider when making the transition to cloud computing…
- Ensure that you know the details and in-depth information about your provider’s security infrastructure. Can your provider tell you where your data is kept?
- Do not put private information in the cloud unless you intend to encrypt your information.
- It is advised that an equal share of responsibilities is split between your administrators and the cloud provider’s administrators. This guarantees that no one party has direct access across all security levels.
- Confirm that the cloud service provider you use has the necessary accreditations to meet security standards. It is important to note that International companies must certify that the provider has a European Safe Harbor accreditation alongside an ISO / IEC 27001.
- To guarantee a secure provider, it may be best to opt for a high-end or industry established supplier.
