Beware the “lights on, no one home” SLA

WHY NOW?

• Reduction in IT / SAS Admin resources

• Closing down own data centres

• Upgrading SAS

• Increased reliance on SAS

• Changing capacity requirements

• Corporate cloud-first strategy

Here are some reasons that are prompting organisations to start planning now

WHY NOT NOW?

“I don’t know if

we are allowed

to put our data

in the cloud”

“We don’t have

the skills /

expertise /

resources”

It feels

like a

big risk

Most common Barriers to The Cloud

DATA PRIVACYDEFINITION

Data Privacy refers to the rules that determine how personal data may be collected, used and processed.

Data Security refers to the practices used to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data that an organization holds.

The General Data Protection

Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation

(EU) 2016/679) new law as of 25

May 2018. The new legislation will

make it easier for organisations to

enter into relationships with

companies like SAS for processing

or storing their data. The “data

processor” (i.e. SAS) would

become “jointly and severally

liable” in relation to the protection

of personal data that it processes

on behalf of its customers (“data

controllers”).

A new EU-US Privacy Shield was

approved on 8th July 2016, and will

shortly become operational. The

successor to the Safe Harbour

framework. This allows contractual

guarantees regarding how a US-based

data processor will treat our

customers’ data. SAS is currently

considering certification under the

new EU-US Privacy Shield which is

expected to become operational in

August 2016. Our aim is to continue to

satisfy our customers’ needs and

requirements with regard to transfer of

personal data to the US.
