Presentation Title: Privacy and Security Issues in Cloud Contracts

Presentation Summary: On the surface, cloud agreements are similar to traditional technology licensing and services agreements; however, cloud computing engagements expose both the client and the service provider to risks not present in more traditional technology transactions. At the top of the list of unique cloud risks are the legislative topics-du-jour: privacy and security regulatory compliance. Robert J. Scott, Managing Partner, of Scott & Scott, LLP, will share suggestions on how each party can mitigate, balance or otherwise eliminate the privacy and security risks in cloud computing. Based on Rob’s extensive experience negotiating cloud computing agreements, he will address each element that contributes to privacy and security risk in cloud computing, including:

• What happens if there is a data loss?
• What broad or industry-specific regulatory issues affect the business?
• What jurisdiction will prevail if there is litigation?
• What indemnification does the vendor offer for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or data breach?
