Regulatory Compliance for Cloud Computing in India: An Overview

Author(s) Mr. SHAKTI KUMAR
Country India
Abstract Cloud Computing emerged as a transformative technology that enables data storage and service delivery over the internet. It also provides scalable and flexible solutions to meet the demands of businesses, government entities, and individuals.
In India, cloud computing is still in its early phase of development and initiatives like Digital India and the National e-Governance Plan taken by the central government. aiding in its growth. The Indian legal system has not fully adapted to meet the specific requirements of cloud technology. The present statute, the Information Technology (IT) Act of 2000, only addresses electronic records, digital signatures, and cybercrime, but fails to cover the unique legal and regulatory challenges of cloud computing, cross-border data transfers, data privacy, and service provider liability.
This paper will explain the various legal, security, and compliance issues associated with cloud computing in India and will also highlight the lack of a dedicated regulatory framework and international data regulations, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which influence global cloud practices, raising concerns about compliance for Indian companies engaged in cross-border operations.
The paper also examines the IT Act's limitations, emphasising the need for updated laws and standards to address issues specific to cloud services, including data localisation, user privacy, data portability, and accountability of cloud providers. It suggests that adopting best practices for data security, enhancing regulatory guidelines, and establishing a robust legal framework could enable India to leverage cloud computing more effectively while safeguarding users' interests.
