Q4 - Can Indian companies continue to use global cloud service providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)?

Answer

Yes, provided:

  • The cloud provider ensures reasonable security safeguards.
  • The government has not restricted transfers to the provider’s jurisdiction.
  • The Data Fiduciary (Indian company) ensures contracts clearly assign responsibility for compliance.
Example

XYZ Stock Brokers may use Amazon AWS Singapore for hosting.
If Singapore is later blacklisted, XYZ must immediately shift data to another location or provider.
