Representing cloud infrastructure service providers in Europe
The nature of cloud infrastructure services and different cloud deployment models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) are often misunderstood. This lack of understanding is fuelling “one size fit all” policies that are out of touch with industry requirements – and underpin the need for a united voice to represent the views of European cloud infrastructure service providers.
Welcome to CISPE. Our membership currently includes companies operating 16 European countries – and we’re growing. Join us.
They support the CISPE Code of Conduct
What we do
- Strongly advocate cloud first public procurement policies
- Promote coherent EU-wide security requirements and technical standards
- Support comprehensive privacy requirements with a Code of Conduct
- Work to keep the EU cloud infrastructure market open, competitive and free from lock-in
- Prevent unjustified content monitoring obligations in the EU legal framework
CISPE Code of Conduct for Cloud Infrastructure Services
This data protection code anticipates enforcement of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It aligns with the strict requirements laid out in the GDPR framework to help cloud infrastructure providers comply and so avoid penalties while also offering a framework to help customers and end users to select cloud providers and trust their services.
The CISPE Code of Conduct :
- An effective, easily accessed framework for complying with the EU’s GDPR
- Excludes the re-use of customer data
- Enables data storage and processing exclusively within the EU
- Identifies cloud infrastructure services suitable for different types of data processing
- Helps citizens to retain control of their personal and sensitive data
