Why it matters
A coordinated enforcement action focused on public sector bodies’ use of cloud services is kicking off across the European Union.
More than 80 public bodies in a wide range of sectors, including health, finance, tax, education and IT service supply and procurement, will face contact from local data protection authorities — ranging from fact-finding exercises and questionnaires to — potentially — formal investigations if privacy concerns are identified.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) announced the plan to target public sector cloud services use last October but today marks the start of action at a national level which it expects to take the best part of this year — with a “state of play” report slated to be published by the Board before the end of 2022, per a spokeswoman.
