Abstract
The executive summary ends with six concise recommendations for facilitating more accountability for data management in cloud ecosystems:
1. Provide a stronger legal base for and enforcement of data protection and accountable behavior;
2. Facilitate independent auditing of responsible data stewardship;
3. Increase public awareness of the need for accountability;
4. Balance existing information asymmetries via partnerships;
5. Focus on larger enterprises working in the public sector first, as these can serve as an example for other types of businesses;
6. Demonstrate how A4Cloud tools and mechanisms can be turned into a business model in order to encourage greater uptake and use.
