Abstract
There have been massive rise in spending on Cloud technologies from the past two years. Now, every IT Setup is expanding their horizons in the cloud services and related technologies. But turning to the issue of inexistence of a regulatory body or issues such as data protection, has kept many companies out of the cloud, particularly which are engaged in Financial Services, Health Care Services or Secret or Government Services, where data leakage or protection can’t be compromised. In this paper, initially we are going to review generic cloud computing term, their types and services and later, we assert for the need of a regulatory body and its resolution in providing a model for this body, which looks after various aspects like protocols, securities, data interactions, etc.
