Are we talking about moving content to personal Google accounts (@gmail.com)
or GAE/G Suite accounts.

If the former I would suggest trying to stop it.  

If the latter, you have administrative control of the content, you can
control passwords, and you can get a Business Associates Agreement signed.
Done correctly, it is possible to make G Suite HIPAA/FERPA compliant.

Thanks Adam. Many staff members are moving content to Google and as a
district we are moving some departmental systems to the cloud. I'm more
concerned about folks storing sensitive content in the Google space
especially since the password requirements there not very strong.

You have to think about what your sanctioned cloud services/apps are, and if
you'll tolerate the others. Then how users should be using those sanctioned
services/apps. Do you want to allow sensitive data to be stored in the
cloud. If yes, should you require encryption. Do you want cloud specific
data retention. There's always some type of regulatory influence. You can
also consider technical and administrative safeguards, and DLP.

 

Here are some examples:

Greetings Everyone,

 

We are developing a policy for the storage of data on the cloud. Does anyone
have a policy or advice they would care to share to help us with this
process?
