Re: Cloud Computing Security Risks and Accountability for Loss of Data, Breach of Privacy and Other Violations

I am not a lawyer. I don’t play one on television. And after my last divorce, I have no motivation to further enrich any member of the legal profession. Nevertheless, my first and best advice to any American business executive considering “cloud computing”, “SaaS” or “PaaS” as cost-cutting solutions in recessionary times is GET THEE TO AN ATTORNEY!

Regardless of who wins the White House next Tuesday–Oblabla and the Mouth, or Geezer and Gidget–and no matter what remuda of Republocrats controls our Congress thereafter, the recently exposed excesses of Wall Street’s Bonus Buccaneer CEOs guarantee increased scrutiny and accountability for executives at all levels and in all arenas, including and perhaps especially that of the CIO. In such a charged political environment, any harm, damage, loss or breach of HIPAA or other privacy mandates attributable to corporate decisions to outsource sensitive information for bottom-line benefit is likely to have repercussions that go far beyond reversing any perceived savings. And when time comes for the ax to fall in the boardroom–or worse, the gavel in the courtroom–rest assured that your cries to blame the Data Manager in Mumbai will fall on deaf ears.
