DoD Issues Long-Awaited Interim Rule on Cyber Requirements and Cloud Services
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.03.15

As discussed in a separate blog post, the Interim Rule also seeks to ensure uniformity in the DoD's IT acquisition and use of cloud computing services by adding T&C's, including that, unless otherwise authorized, cloud service providers must maintain all government data within the U.S., outlying areas, or DoD premises.
