Cloud Computing

According to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Improper management of cloud data can lead Taiwanese companies to violate the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and the Trade Secrets Act, facing hefty fines and legal risks. Furthermore, clients in supply chains (e.g., semiconductor, finance, automotive) often require suppliers to demonstrate adequate cloud security, which can impact business orders and market trust.

Key related standards include ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems), ISO/IEC 27017 (Code of practice for information security controls for cloud services), and ISO/IEC 27018 for protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the cloud. These provide an international framework for managing cloud risks.

Winners Consulting integrates expertise in technology law, ISO auditing, data science, and industrial engineering to help companies build a comprehensive cloud risk matrix, covering legal compliance, technical defense, and management systems. We don't just implement ISO standards; we vertically integrate them with corporate governance and internal controls to ensure cloud benefits and security are achieved in sync, avoiding redundant efforts.
