Cut Costs not Corners: Improving Business Efficiency.
Cloud computing introduces changes that necessitate a re-assessment of the legal risks.
Doing things right first time and working together can save your organisation time and money. JISC RSC UK in conjunction with JISC Advance Services, bring you a short series of online events addressing the key theme of Cost Efficiencies.
The session will help you to make confident, informed decisions about implementing cloud computing solutions at your institution.
It will consider
- how to protect your interests in the cloud provider contract
- the risks of outsourcing of student email and data storage
- legal responsibility for technology use and for data, particularly personal data
The JISC Legal Cloud Computing and the Law Toolkit consists of a series of specialist guidance documents that tackle the legal risk decisions that institutions have now to re-evaluate in the context of cloud computing services.
Specific areas that we will deal with include –
- Accountability and Reputational Risk

- Freedom of Information obligations
- Intellectual Property Rights
- Data Protection
- Communications Data
- Jurisdiction - Transfer of Personal Data Out of the EEA
- Data Loss, Data Security and Compliance
- Encryption Keys
- Unlawful Behaviour – Acceptable Use
- Removing Material from Publication
- Contracts - Negotiating the Appropriate Terms
The Toolkit has guidance for -
- Senior Management and Policy Makers
- Users at the institution
- Senior IT staff
- as well as a User Guide to Cloud Computing Contracts
If you are considering using cloud services such as outsourcing student email or data storage solutions then this Toolkit is for you.
