Commissioner for Personal Data Protection
The Office participates in the EDPB’s coordinated action
for the use of cloud services in the public sector
On 15 February 2022, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) launched the first coordinated action for the use of cloud services in the public sector. The purpose of this initiative is to gather information for the practices followed across Member States and to assess compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
In the frame of this initiative, my Office sent a relevant questionnaire prepared by the EDPB, to the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, which is competent, inter alia, for e-government in the public service. The replies will be evaluated and forwarded to the EDPB for deciding the next steps at national and at European level.
