In this Help Net Security interview, Bill Tolson, VP of Global Compliance and eDiscovery at Archive360, talks about the importance of cloud compliance and what companies can do meet the requirements when shifitng to the cloud.

What industries are more at risk of cloud compliance issues and why?

The 'cloud' in the broadest sense offers massive benefits to every industry, with advantages ranging from CapEx versus OpEx considerations, total cost of ownership, the benefits of "Economies of scale" in cloud computing as well as the ability to dynamically scale up and down when unforeseen workloads are encountered.

All of this stretches the boundaries of some key questions: Who has ultimate responsibility for cloud platform security, and how is it possible to ensure that all cloud-based data and operations are in compliance with existing mandates?

It's still the cloud, for sure, but it's nothing like the 'the cloud.

This approach takes advantage of a major cloud platform's economies of scale while providing what amounts to a private cloud platform.
