SecureClouds: Development of a software environment for tool-supported security and compliance analyses for outsourcing services to cloud computing environments

Approaches and tools are developed for outsourcing business processes to a cloud so that security and compliance requirements are still met afterwards. Using the data and documents available in the company (e.g., business documents that are processed by the process), the business processes to be outsourced to a cloud are to be checked and tested with the aid of tools to determine whether and under what restrictions outsourcing to a cloud can be designed to conform to specified security and compliance requirements.
