The ICO provides advice to Police Scotland on complying with police-specific data protection laws regarding cloud deployments, emphasizing that the guidance doesn't constitute approval or assurance of compliance.
ICO clarifies that UK police can legally use hyperscale public cloud infrastructure with appropriate protections in place, citing international agreements like International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTA) or the Addendum to the European Union's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Experts question the viability of controls recommended by ICO, expressing uncertainty in applying UK GDPR rules to the US Cloud Act pathways for US authorities to access data from communication providers operating in its jurisdiction.
