Checklists and guidance documents

EU08 (2016) Checklist for Ensuring Trust in Storage in Infrastructure-asa- Service – Hrvoje Stančić, Edvin Bursic and Adam Al-Harari (English, Spanish)

This checklist offers guidance for individuals, businesses, government agencies or other organizations to assess the security and ongoing trustworthiness (i.e. authenticity, reliability and accuracy) of their data when stored in an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform. The goal of the study was to establish the minimum amount of information necessary to support users’ trust in an IaaS provider and also position the provider as a trusted service provider. This checklist can be used by records managers and archivists when assessing a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) offering IaaS, as well as by CSPs as a guideline for providing online information about their service. This document can also be found as part of the final report for EU08.
