Data Protection laws and regulations across the EU govern the storage and processing of data that would allow an individual to be recognized. They are intended to address the risks around privacy and data loss and to provide a framework for good information governance. The development of public, private, government, and hybrid cloud computing services has created a challenge to on-premise data storage and processing, and thus created uncertainty regarding responsibilities of the respective organizations regarding data protection and data privacy. The European Union is soon to implement the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will bring all 27 countries under a single regime of rules, and penalties for breach. AIIM regards this as an opportunity for cloud providers to deliver EU-wide services under a single operations model. However, providers and users need to be aware of the current legislative challenges. The purpose of a new AIIM white paper -- Making sense of European Data Protection Regulations as they relate to the storage and management of content in the Cloud – is to inform end-users of the current and potential future legislative landscape in Europe regarding data protection and data privacy. This will enable end-user organizations to make risk-based decisions about cloud versus on-premise content storage. This will also allow them to evaluate providers of cloud services to ensure that they will stay compliant with applicable law.

However, the need to maintain and raise the value of business information is clear during economically challenging times. To this end, here is a crash course in improving information risk for your organization.

Enterprises today are faced with explosive growth in the volume and complexity of information, as new forms of content and communication become a part of every organization. Adding to the challenge, the legal and regulatory environment for most enterprises has become more rigorous, imposing significant obligations on all types of content and information channels. Entities need to find methods to address these disparate needs if they are to effectively manage risk and derive the true value of information within their environments.
