Are Cloud Computing Security Fears Holding Your Association Back?

“I am Worried about Storing my Data in the Cloud”

Picture

Often people tell me that they are very concerned about security when their data is in the cloud.  My response is that by moving to the cloud most organizations will be significantly more secure.

Today’s established cloud providers (Salesforce, Google, etc.) are compliant with numerous security regulations, such as HIPAA, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.    For example, if your organization use Google Apps, your email and documents are SAS 70 II compliant - an extremely high level of security (and it comes in at only $50/user/year).

Picture

Salesforce (on which Nimble AMS is built on) is ISO 27001 Certified – it meets a very stringent set of standards that contains 11 domains including security policy, asset management and compliance.   ​
Bottom Line:  Established cloud providers spend far more on security and can afford to employ greater security expertise than than almost any non-profit / Association.
