Dropbox Pursues Business Accounts, But Falls Short On Privacy Laws 122
deadeyefred writes "Dropbox last month launched its Teams service, targeted at small and mid-sized businesses — but acknowledges it's not PCI-, HIPAA- or Sarbanes-Oxley compliant. Company executives say they also don't provide a highly visible warning largely because customers in beta tests didn't make it an issue. Should cloud services focused at businesses provide clear warnings if they are not compliant with key regulatory requirements, or should business customers just assume they are not?"

They don't need warnings. (Score:5, Insightful)
Companies should assume they are not compliant unless the company tells them they are. I don't think Dropbox should need to put they are not compliant on their webpage, but they should be able to answer questions regarding their compliance if asked by a prospective business client.

Hell, don't deal with this particular outfit, period. I mean, how could people forget them basically turning passwords off for four hours [geek.com] in June?!
