Legal issues that might surface in the cloud include responsibility for copyright violations, data breaches, data privacy violations, security violations, data loss, and confidentiality. The processing, storing, and sharing of cloud-based data raises legal questions because of the role that the jurisdiction plays in these processes. The government is therefore in charge of both safe storage and authorized use. A service provider must safeguard any data that belongs to a person, group, or organization. The second issue is compliance. Service providers must abide by local laws where data is stored but failing to do so could result in more restrictive legal requirements, which would drive up the cost of implementing a given project. The third issue is copyright, which covers theft and data breaches and carries one of the harshest forms of punishment. The fourth legal issue is the application of the law, which essentially forces the cloud-based service provider to balance their way through a statutory minefield because the various types of data must adhere to other sectoral laws cutting across various industries and domains. The legal protection of data from ongoing cyberattacks, ransomware attacks, and malware attacks on the public system, which leave cloud-based services open to abuse and misuse, is another challenge. Mismatched errors are referred to as data portability. When technology is updated, mistakes can occasionally happen. Future jurisdictional issues must be addressed simultaneously by data governance and the legal framework to prevent the monopolization (or oligopoly) of cloud services.
