The shift to cloud computing – and away from internally housed data and operations – poses new challenges for information security professionals. Compliance is one of them. On Monday, Microsoft Trustworthy Computing released “CISO Perspectives: Compliance in the Cloud,” a new report that provides insights from chief information security officers (CISOs) at some of the world’s largest organizations on the challenges, success factors and potential solutions of compliance.
“Regulatory compliance is a hot topic among many of the customers I talk to,” writes Microsoft Director of Trustworthy Computing Tim Rains. “Of particular interest is compliance as it relates to the cloud. It is a challenging topic and there are many regulations that chief information security officers need to be aware of and adhere to and these can vary significantly by industry and location.”
The CISO Perspectives article focuses on three areas of compliance – location, risk assessment and due diligence – and features CISOs from leading organizations such as Prudential Financial and Royal Bank of Scotland.
