Le rapport de l’Assemblée Nationale s’intéresse également à l’informatique dans les nuages, le ‘cloud computing’, qui présente de nombreux avantages économiques pour les entreprises, et même pour les gouvernements, mais dont l’utilisation n’est pas sans risques pour la sécurité des données personnelles.

Are ‘clouds’ located outside the European Union unlawful?
Posted by "Security Breaches" Administrator on July 16, 2010 · 3 Comments
A central aspect of every cloud service contract is the security of data processing. It is therefore important, if only for liability reasons, that responsibility for specific security measures be clearly assigned. This can be done by using security service level agreements between the cloud service provider and its client that clearly assign who is responsible for which particular security measure.
Storing data in a cloud located outside the EU raises specific legal compliance issues. According to some experts, such clouds are even unlawful. There are, however, some ways to make sure that, even if a data controller stores data into a cloud located in a third country, he is still in compliance with German data protection law. A data exporter must use, in order to satisfy the adequate level of data protection requirement, specific standard contractual clauses for all contracts with a cloud service company located outside the EU. Binding corporate rules are the alternative solution, though only for private clouds.
