data security in "the cloud"

Hi All,

  I have been looking for information on data security standards for
information that is stored in the cloud and so far every site I find seems
to think the topic is a joke. I haven't found a single site that takes the
notion of proper data security for the cloud seriously. There is no mention
of any kind of data encryption, any kind of SSL type of data
transport protocols in place or any other mention of security at all. This
kind of irritates me, but before I start ranting, does anyone here have any
good pointers to information on the data security standards for the cloud?
Thanks guys.
