ICO cloud advice ignores the monster in the shadows

Among the items of genuine lunacy suggested is this gem. The ICO advises businesses that, in order to comply with the Data Protection Act (DPA), businesses should have a written contract with their cloud service provider (CSP) that prevents the terms of this 'partnership' from being altered without prior agreement; that way, any potential impact upon DPA provision can be cut off at the pass. Of course, that assumes your CSP caves in to such a contractually-binding agreement - which is about as likely as Jimmy Savile being canonised.
