Cloud computing is nothing more than data processing via the Internet. Every day, we all use the cloud to check our bank account, social media, e-mail, etc. Companies are also increasingly relying on cloud technologies.
Even though data is stored in the Cloud, you are still responsible for protecting it under GDPR. Failing to do so can have legal and financial consequences.
As consumers become more aware and protective of their personal data, they are less forgiving of companies who have poor cybersecurity and privacy ethics.
Security and compliance risk remains the biggest blocker to becoming a Cloud-first business. Overcome that hurdle with a solid Cloud security plan, and put your business in prime position for scalable growth.
It’s like the saying goes, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” This is ultimately the reason why Cloud Security Assessments are important for any business — it is how you identify and mitigate security risks in the Cloud. You can opt to do this as a one-time test or sign up for an annual subscription.

Cloud computing has allowed businesses to scale, modernise and innovate at unprecedented levels. One of the key benefits is in cost savings - the investments required for physical equipment (CAPEX) are no longer necessary due to the Cloud so companies only pay for operational costs (OPEX). Other benefits include disaster recovery for certain aspects of IT, and increased flexibility for staff.
This would include the incorrect set-up or misconfiguration of the cloud platform, unauthorised access and insecure API interfaces.
In a traditional data centre, it is clear where the data was stored, and the responsibility of protecting that data lies entirely with the company. With the Cloud, it is not as straightforward. The responsibility is shared, making it harder to determine who is responsible for certain aspects of security and compliance with regulations. A Cloud security strategy is all about leveraging industry experts to navigate these murky waters to offer businesses protection against financial and legal consequences.
