What are the Trust Issues?
Will my cloud provider be transparent about governance and operational issues?
Will I be considered compliant?
Do I know where my data is?
Will a lack of standards drive unexpected obsolescence?
Is my provider really better at security than me?
Are the hackers waiting for me in the cloud?
Will I get fired?Source : Achieving Security Assurance and Compliance in the Cloud: CSA
