Virtually every organization today is using the Cloud in some way or another. But do organizations really know what they are using, not to speak about knowing what the Cloud Provider really does? Cloud services with their risk of data sprawl and the lack of control about corporate information is a hot topic for auditors today. Privacy issues, risk management for sensitive information, and other aspects gain more and more attention of auditors. But even besides the regulatory and internal compliance requirements, Cloud Governance and Stewardship are mandatory for any organization. How to enforce Cloud Assurance? How to know what the Cloud Service Provider is doing and whether this meets your requirements? And how to enforce Cloud Security in general? This track covers all these aspects. It is about managing the Cloud right to mitigate risks and gain maximum benefits from using the Cloud.
