Cloud computing has become increasingly popular over recent years, with 91% of enterprises now using web-based software services and solutions. It’s a market worth over £9 billion, but many users still have concerns about its practicalities and security.
As experts in cloud computing law, we are here to help you navigate those concerns and ensure your business-critical data is safe and fully compliant with data protection laws.
Not only do our lawyers have an intrinsic awareness of current and emerging business technologies, we also understand the legal challenges that can arise as a result of innovation.
JPP can provide legal advice for the three main areas of cloud services namely:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): allows businesses to rent or lease servers and storage space in the Cloud, running operating systems and applications without maintenance costs;
- Platform as a Service (PaaS): a development platform that enables users to develop and run their own applications in the Cloud;
- Software as a Service (SaaS): a way of delivering software applications over the internet, so users don’t have to worry about managing complex systems in house.
