Conceptual Definition:

- Accountability consists of defining governance to responsibly comply with

internal and external criteria, ensuring implementation of appropriate

actions, explaining and justifying those actions and remedying any failure to

act properly.

Defining Accountability

Accountability for an organization consists of accepting responsibility for the

stewardship of personal and confidential data with which it is entrusted in a

cloud environment, for processing, sharing, storing and otherwise using the

data according to contractual and legal requirements from the time it is

collected until when the data is destroyed (including onward transfer to and

from third parties).

In addition, it involves committing to legal, ethical and moral obligations,

policies, procedures and mechanisms, explaining and demonstrating ethical

implementation to internal and external stakeholders and remedying any failure

to act properly.
