Today EY released our whitepaper titled Building Trust in the Cloud: Creating Confidence in Your Cloud Ecosystem.  This piece of thought leadership represents the culmination of collaborative thinking from many of our firm’s foremost leaders in technology and business and provides a clear set of considerations and recommendations for building trust in the cloud.

Unlike many industry publications that talk about the risks and roadblocks of moving to the cloud, this publication changes the dialog to thinking cloud first.  The guide provides a cloud trust framework – built upon our knowledge and experience with working with some of the world’s largest and most complex Cloud Service Providers (CSP) and Cloud Service Consumers (CSC) – for creating an ecosystem that has a trusted design, trusted execution and trusted certification. We believe that all cloud environments should strive to be secure, trusted and audit-ready but it does take the know-how to weigh the risks and address them appropriately so they do not put the business in jeopardy.

We also introduced the concept of the cloud ecosystem. Previous thinking on the subject has primarily focused on either the CSC or the CSP. While both parties are important, they are two pieces of the puzzle that must fit together and work in harmony and not at odds. We have recognized that a trusted ecosystem can only be achieved when the two parties work together to build trust into their respective environments, thereby creating a trusted ecosystem of controls.
