Resources
Organisations require fewer external memory devices as their data is stored on third party networks but they still require the ICT resources to gather, maintain and use their data

The third party is responsible for security of the stored data so the organisations do not need to purchase or licence this software for themselves

The organisations depend on reliable high speed broadband connections to the Internet to save and retrieve their data quickly and accurately so that it is available for their day to day operations

DP Legislation
Organisations depend on the third party complying with DP legislation but this can be difficult to ensure An organisation’s data may be stored globally which makes enforcement of DP legislation difficult, for example restricting data to EU

Data users find it even more difficult to discover the data held about them, where it is being held and by whom
