This Checklist outlines the key points to be considered by customers contracting for cloud computing services such as software as a service, platform as a service and infrastructure as a service. Since the specific risks that should be addressed in a contract with a cloud supplier will depend on the specific circumstances of each customer and the service being bought, this Checklist considers the generic issues that should be raised with the supplier prior to signing a contract.

The third column can be used to record observations or comments as the Checklist is worked through.
