Information Governance & Compliance

In order for the business to give IT the ‘go ahead’ to consume cloud services for approved workloads, more general security concerns around data ownership and compliance must be addressed.

For example, multinational companies that have offices around the world face vastly different privacy and data sovereignty laws.

Brexit, mistrust of US Government and the vastly different privacy laws across the US and EU often drive the requirement to establish separate geographically located tenants.

Cloud Essentials can assist in decisions relating to the geographic provisioning of Azure and Office 365 services based on data sovereignty and privacy law.

We can also help you get to grips with best practices and legislation when it comes to securing your systems and implementing strong governance controls for ‘unstructured’ repositories like email, SharePoint and file shares, including online services like Dropbox, Box.net, OneDrive and OneDrive.
