From ZDNet:

A 24-strong consortium of service providers, vendors, government organisations and consultants has begun work on a set of measurements designed to make it easier for businesses to compare the security features offered by cloud-computing providers.

The Common Assurance Metric or CAM was launched on Monday Feb 7, 2010. So, who is a part of this consortium?

Participants include Amazon, Google, Microsoft, the European Network and Information Security Agency (Enisa), the Cabinet Office, HM Revenue & Customs, KPMG, McAfee and Oracle.

Which is odd when you consider Microsoft’s push for government legislation and their comments on security just recently.
