It is not security but risk

Security is not the real issue but risk is what matters. We view security as a technical problem and generally most people in IT are good at solving technical problems. What we have to articulate to our business colleagues is the risk of moving to the cloud and how those risk are mitigated. This is a whole range of "what if" scenarios and the possible financial, brand, regulatory etc impacts the scenarios might cause.

Our business colleagues are more interested in the impact of change overall than one technical area. Partly because I work in a fairly risk averse segment and the business understand risk well.

We are already looking at what sort of information and processing we are happy to use in the cloud so that we can reduce the overall risk. However the benefits to us of using the cloud are to great to ignore.
