Mail in de VS en je bestanden hier? Het werkt niet - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- Dutch government organizations increasingly rely on US clouds, raising privacy and sovereignty concerns as Americans could access or disrupt Dutch data.
- The central government has largely decided to keep email on own servers, a significant reversal from the previous trend toward full migration to US servers.
- Many executive bodies and municipalities still use US clouds for email and documents, risking exposure of sensitive data like health records, benefits, and criminal records.
- A proposed compromise—keeping sensitive files on local servers while using US clouds for email and Office apps—is impractical because employees must communicate and create documents about sensitive cases.
- Over 200,000 government workplaces plan to retain email and documents on own servers, proving that a fully local solution is feasible despite initial doubts.
- Organizations should follow the lead of those who have chosen full local control to avoid predictable future problems and scandals.
