Fernando Resina da Silva, IT & Outsourcing partner, participated in a debate organised by IDC Cloud Leadership Forum that took place in March 2014, which was news in online Computerworld.com.pt, on April 1 and in Jornal de Negócios, on April 2.

One of the biggest legal challenges associated to cloud computing will be how to know and manage where the information is. Thus, the lawyer "alerts the importance of understanding the applicable legislation, namely, to data protection. Another problem are the guarantees obtained from the data, without non-authorized replication and without loss of integrity, when the service provider contract is ceased. Although there is a healthy standard at a European scale, the lawyer advises caution, especially when the information is stationed in different destinations, due to legislation diversity."
