Unless you&#x27;re personally memorizing all the data then you&#x27;re outsourcing the responsibility somewhere - either you&#x27;re paying for a service that you hope will be compliant with its specification, or you&#x27;re paying for hardware that you hope will be compliant with its specification and employees that you hope will be as skilled as they claim to be. There&#x27;s no way to eliminate the risk entirely, all you can do is take the safest option available. These days that&#x27;s often the cloud.
