You can then drill down into the individual cloud services provided by the cloud service providers that you have identified. BlackCloudRx™ App will allow you to select the different notifications you want to receive for each of your selected cloud services.

There is strength in numbers and because we live in a consumer driven economy, we highly encourage consumers to contact their cloud service providers directly to express any concerns they have about their cloud service having a low rating, experiencing a security breach and getting sued due to a security breach.

We are certainly open to working with cloud service providers, as a trust broker, to help provide independent assurance to you as the consumer, but we are relying on the power of you the consumer to incentivize the cloud service providers to attain the necessary continuous improvement process.

Each displayed score is followed by (P) or (V).

(V) – indicates a Validated Score that is based on independent onsite assessment(s) of the cloud service provider performed by a HISPI Qualified Independent CAAP Assessor.

0 (P) – indicates insufficient public information disclosed by the cloud service provider to warrant a review.
