In the Security Knowledge Base, the UCL Information Security team has put together useful advice to help you assess whether using cloud services is safe. The guide enable to consider three important questions:

1. Is the cloud service secure enough for this type of information?
2. Is it compliant – and will it remain compliant – with relevant legislation, contractual or regulatory requirements?
3. Are the other risks that arise from using this service acceptable?

The guide also provides key information on personal data protection, Intellectual Property Right and risk assessment.

If you need an alternative to commercial services you can use the in-house UCL Drop Box.
