Markus Schefer and Philip Glass recently published an expert opinion according to which the use of M365 by public bodies results in a serious infringement of fundamental rights because US authorities allegedly can freely access all data in the cloud. In a reply, David Rosenthal shows why these assumptions are wrong and why their conclusions are, therefore, untenable. However, all three agree on the validity of the risk-based approach, which, according to Rosenthal, allows the use of the cloud even without the much cited, but often impracticable «end-to-end» encryption, for example because the gain in data security justifies any interventions.
