GDPR compliance implies both privacy and security mechanisms definition, enforcement and control, including evidence collection. This paper presents a novel DevOps framework aimed at supporting Cloud consumers in designing, deploying and operating (multi)Cloud systems that include the necessary privacy and security controls for ensuring transparency to end-users, third parties in service provision (if any) and law enforcement authorities. The framework relies on the risk-driven specification at design time of privacy and security level objectives in the system Service Level Agreement (SLA) and in their continuous monitoring and enforcement at runtime.10387883enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessService Level Agreement-based GDPR Compliance and Security assurance in (multi)Cloud-based systemsjournal article10.1049/iet-sen.2018.5293European General Data Protection RegulationGDPRCloud-based systemsPrivacySecuritySLAEuropean General Data Protection RegulationGDPRCloud-based systemsPrivacySecuritySLAComputer Graphics and Computer-Aided DesignProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/644429/EU/MUlti-cloud Secure Applications/MUSAinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/780351/EU/Trustworthy and Smart Actuation in IoT systems/ENACTinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/644429/EU/MUlti-cloud Secure Applications/MUSAinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/780351/EU/Trustworthy and Smart Actuation in IoT systems/ENACTFunding InfoThe research leading to these results has received_x000D_ funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research_x000D_ and innovation programme under grant agreement No 644429_x000D_ and No 780351, MUSA project and ENACT project,_x000D_ respectively.
