Data Compliance

Data compliance issues can encompass a broad spectrum of areas. A few examples that

you may encounter in cloud computing are indicated in the table below:

Data at Rest This refers to data when stored on persistent media such as a disk, tape, or optical media (such as a DVD or CD).

Data in Use This refers to active data stored in a computer's RAM or CPU.

Data in Transit

This refers to data that flows across a network such as the Internet or a private network (such as an internal network entirely within a cloud hosting facility).

Information Classification

This refers to classifying different types of information based on who can or should access it. It is common for organizations to have different classifications for data, such as confidential, public, or highly restricted.

Data Portability

This refers to how easily a customer's data may be moved between different IT environments. Some entities such as the European Union have strict requirements on data portability.
