Re: Cloud Security Policy

[Shaun Gray <SGray () MEDFORD K12 NJ US>]

Thanks Adam. Many staff members are moving content to Google and as a district we are moving some departmental systems 
to the cloud. I'm more concerned about folks storing sensitive content in the Google space especially since the 
password requirements there not very strong.

You have to think about what your sanctioned cloud services/apps are, and if you'll tolerate the others. Then how users 
should be using those sanctioned services/apps. Do you want to allow sensitive data to be stored in the cloud. If yes, 
should you require encryption. Do you want cloud specific data retention. There's always some type of regulatory 
influence. You can also consider technical and administrative safeguards, and DLP.

Here are some examples:

Greetings Everyone,

We are developing a policy for the storage of data on the cloud. Does anyone have a policy or advice they would care to 
share to help us with this process?
