Slightly moot?
I've worked on very confidential projects where the main software tools used are all cloud based with no other secure versions available for use on airgaps, thankfully these projects were not at the competition stage whereby UK companies bidding against US companies would have to worry about economic espionage. However, if they were, regardless of any kind of special relationship what possible guarantees would a non US company have that their intellectual copyright is secure in these circumstances? Especially as the the software providers no longer offer non cloud based versions of the software. When working at a smaller scale, in what way could a UK based startup for instance sign an NDA for a client?
