The Florida Bar’s Technology Committee in collaboration with The Florida Bar’s Practice Resource Institute have published both a quick start guide to cloud computing and more comprehensive due diligence guidelines to assist lawyers in selecting a cloud service provider.
The Florida Bar News reports:
“Two things are happening more than ever right now: Lawyers are using the cloud to store sensitive information; and lawyers are under attack from cyber criminals looking to steal sensitive information,” said Tech Committee Chair Al Saikali, who also chairs the Privacy and Data Security Practice area at Shook, Hardy & Bacon. “It was therefore important to develop a document that teaches lawyers about the cybersecurity and legal issues associated with the storage of cloud service providers.”
