Moving sensitive police records to US cloud providers raises significant data protection issues, especially under the UK's current data regime. The proposed reforms could eliminate but complicate data adequacy.
The planned tender for the new records management system is set for April 2025, with an estimated valuation of £100m. This contrasts starkly with potential risks posed by US surveillance.
Experts warn that using hyperscale public cloud infrastructure for the RMS could expose sensitive police data to risks like remote access and potential legal overlap with US law.
While there are prospects for a new RMS to enhance efficiency, the data sovereignty concerns underscore the need for clarity in compliance amidst evolving UK data laws.
