The DSM cloud stakeholder group serves as a platform for the work of the two self-regulatory cloud working groups that are currently active: SWIPO (cloud switching/porting data working group) and CSPCERT (cloud security certification working group).
SWIPO is developing Codes of Conduct on data porting, with the purpose of facilitating the switching between cloud service providers. The deadline for the development of the codes of conduct is end-November 2019. Both SWIPO codes are on schedule to comply with this deadline.
CSPCERT finalised its Recommendations for the development of an European cloud security certification scheme. There will be ample opportunities to discuss the outcome.
The regular meetings of the DSM cloud stakeholders are part of a process that will contribute to more legal certainty and enhanced trust in cloud services offered on the EU market.
