Abstract

Cloud computing has rapidly become a popular technology in India, with its potential to drive
economic growth and technological innovation. However, its adoption has also raised several legal
issues related to data protection, privacy, and cyber security. This paper provides a comprehensive
review of the legal and regulatory landscape of cloud computing in India, including the relevant laws,
regulations, and guidelines. It analyzes the various legal issues that arise in cloud computing, such
as data ownership, security, and compliance with data protection laws, and provides
recommendations for businesses and policymakers to address these issues. Additionally, the paper
includes case studies that illustrate the legal challenges that businesses have faced in India when
using cloud computing. Finally, the paper provides best practices for businesses to ensure the safe
and effective use of cloud computing, such as conducting risk assessments, choosing reputable
cloud service providers, implementing appropriate security measures, monitoring and auditing cloud
services, and developing contingency plans. Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis
of the issues and challenges associated with cloud computing under Indian laws, and provides
practical recommendations for businesses and policymakers to ensure its safe and effective
adoption.
