Quite a lot has been written about the importance of due-diligence in a cloud environment. Sometimes the importance of security and compliance-related vetting in the cloud is easy to justify, like when you’re evaluating an off-premises public cloud hosted at a new service provider. Other times, executives might take some convincing, like when you’re talking about an internally maintained private cloud, before they see the value. Either way though, most organizations that have gone through a cloud deployment have probably put some level of effort into due diligence.
