The IT-Guidelines and IT- Baseline Protections Rules of ETH Zurich regulate the use of information in external IT services (e.g., external cloud services).

Following the above procedure creates the possibility for storing and processing data classified as "internal" and "confidential" in specific external cloud services that have been evaluated and approved for this purpose, with corresponding security and data protection standards.

Data classified as "strictly confidential" must not be stored in the cloud (compare Art. 22 resp. Art. 22bis of the Directive on Information Security at ETH Zurich).
