  • Cloudsourcing involves considerably greater risks to data than do insourcing or conventional outsourcing. A generic data risk assessment identifies key concerns in relation to harm arising from threats impinging on vulnerabilities in the cloud. Guidance is provided as to appropriate safeguards to address those risks. Most services lack those safeguards, implying that individuals and user organisations need to be far more careful in their use of cloud services.
