Cloud Computing Law: Data Protection and Cybersecurity
This course is part of Cloud Computing Law Specialization.
This comprehensive course explores the legal frameworks governing data protection and cybersecurity in cloud computing environments. Starting with an in-depth examination of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the course helps learners identify the roles and responsibilities of cloud service providers and their customers as processors and controllers. Students learn to analyze how personal data is defined, what constitutes lawful processing, and how individuals can exercise their rights under data protection law. The curriculum then explores international data transfers, explaining the GDPR's global reach, transfer mechanisms like adequacy decisions and appropriate safeguards, and practical compliance strategies for cloud services operating across borders. The final module covers cybersecurity regulations for cloud services under the Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive, focusing on obligations for critical infrastructure, security requirements, and incident notification procedures. Through case studies and practical assignments, students develop the ability to apply these legal frameworks to real-world cloud computing scenarios.
