With a rapidly evolving data privacy and regulation landscape, even those who conduct business exclusively in the United States have a responsibility to understand what is happening globally in the world of data protection, data privacy and data regulation.  For those employing cloud solutions, this responsibility is one that should be shared with their cloud systems partners.

In this video, Oracle’s Rani Urbas and Monika Thakur discuss Oracle Cloud’s holistic data protection approach to reducing risk, preventing threats and ensuring regulatory compliance.  This discussion matters to not only those currently utilizing cloud solutions, but also to those wary of moving to the cloud due to concerns about data security.

Considerations for Users

1. Does your organization conduct business outside the United States or have partners, customers and vendors with a global reach? If so, having a pulse on the changing data regulation and privacy rules should be a priority for your organization and your cloud applications partner.
2. Do you have concerns about your current or prospective technologies and their ability to comply with data regulation and privacy rules? In order to get the most out of your applications, learn the facts about how your data is controlled so that you can separate them from your organization’s fears about data privacy.
3. How does your current solution work to align with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other new regional privacy regulations in its management and protection of your organization’s personal data? If you are considering a move to the cloud, it is important to know that your partner aligns with these regulations, as well as understanding how they do it.
4. How do your current architecture, business processes and focus on data privacy regulation help you to weather certain future changes? Consider the speed of change in data privacy, security, and compliance regulations over the past five years.
