Bank of England examinations of cloud computing centers

The request was successful.

Dear Bank of England,

Could we please find out if your workers have ever conducted an on-site formal examination of a major cloud computing provider?

If the answer is yes, could you please tell us the dates of those examinations during the past two years?

Cloud computing providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS) , Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. These platforms are increasing relied upon by banks and financial companies for important operations. The US Federal Reserve has reportedly performed an on-site review of an AWS center in Virginia.

Yours faithfully,

John Detrixhe and Alison Griswold
