Initiative overview
The Methodological Guidelines for Cloud Services in the Slovak Republic provide practical recommendations for using cloud technologies within public administration. They address the challenge that adopting cloud services can be complex, with risks related to security, compatibility, and cost management. By offering clear guidance, the guidelines aim to help public institutions adopt cloud solutions safely and effectively.
The main objectives are to ensure security of public data, promote interoperability between systems, and encourage cost-efficient use of cloud technologies. They also aim to standardize approaches across different government bodies, improving coordination and consistency in digital services.
The guidelines were developed under the framework of NKIVS (National Concept of Informatization of the Slovak Republic), with input from government IT specialists and public sector stakeholders. They cover practical steps for selecting cloud providers, managing risks, ensuring legal compliance, and integrating cloud solutions with existing IT systems.
