The short answer is that YOU can't determine the level of safety. The
only way that some large corporate can do that is with an end-to-end
audit. The problem is that there is a food chain going on here, and
you have no real visibility into where your data is ultimately being
stored, including several continents away. And, you don't know about
the trustworthiness of the employees. When you send your data into
the cloud, all you can do is "hope" that your data is safe. And more
than once, I've heard someone way that, "Hope is not a plan, or a
course or action."

However, it all comes down to your willingness to take on some measure
of risk in exchange for the benefits of cloud storage, or cloud-based
applications. And the problem is that you don't know what you don't
know, the unknown unknowns, as someone once said.
