The Cloud Computing Risk Assessment is a critical document required when organizations in Hong Kong are evaluating, implementing, or reviewing their cloud computing services. It serves as a comprehensive evaluation tool that helps organizations understand and manage risks associated with cloud computing deployments while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's regulatory framework, including the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and industry-specific regulations. The assessment covers various aspects including data security, operational resilience, compliance requirements, and technical vulnerabilities. This document is particularly important given Hong Kong's position as a major financial and business hub, where organizations must maintain high standards of data protection and security while leveraging cloud technologies. It should be updated periodically or when significant changes occur in the cloud environment or regulatory landscape.
