Legal and Ethical Issues

Cloud data has allowed for more people to work remotely from a wide array of jobs and organizations, allowing for people to be more productive and have more time to themselves. But there are some companies that prefer to have workers together in offices to create a spirit of unity and more easily concentrate directions, but workers now know that companies would be unreasonable to force them not work remotely. Companies must find a balance between remote work powered by the Cloud and in person work to create an effective administration between data and people (Rhoton, 2009). Cloud service providers manage data storage for companies and organizations, and there are times when organizations have no say or information regarding how the data is stored but are still held liable if there are data breaches, and so are required to research service providers that are reliable in keeping their Cloud storage systems secure (Brady, 2010). Service providers are also capable of becoming unresponsive to companies and organizations or ending service abruptly, particularly with smaller ones. Forcing smaller companies to face the consequences of a sudden loss of storage and rallying lawyers in an attempt to mitigate these practices (White, 2010).
