Which of the following is the PRIMARY component to determine the success or failure of an organization's cloud compliance program?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The most useful document for an auditor to review when seeking visibility into the cloud supply chain for a newly acquired Software as a Service (SaaS) solution is the SaaS provider contract.The contract is the legal agreement that defines the terms and conditions of the cloud service, including the roles, responsibilities, and obligations of the parties involved1.The contract should also specify the service level agreements (SLAs), security and privacy requirements, data ownership and governance, incident response and reporting, audit rights and access, and subcontracting or outsourcing arrangements of the SaaS provider2. By reviewing the contract, the auditor can gain insight into the cloud supply chain and assess the risks, controls, and compliance of the SaaS solution.

The other options are not as useful as the SaaS provider contract. Payments made by the service owner are the financial transactions that reflect the fees or charges incurred by using the SaaS solution.They may indicate the usage or consumption of the cloud service, but they do not provide much information about the cloud supply chain or its security and compliance aspects3. SaaS vendor white papers are the marketing or educational materials that describe the features, benefits, or best practices of the SaaS solution.They may provide some general or technical information about the cloud service, but they are not legally binding or verifiable4. Cloud compliance obligations register is a tool that helps customers identify and track their compliance requirements and obligations for using cloud services.It may help customers understand their own responsibilities and risks in relation to the cloud service, but it does not necessarily reflect the compliance status or performance of the SaaS provider5.

Ha! Risk treatment options? That's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. The real answer is clearly C - mapping the data owners.

I disagree. I think selecting the right external frameworks is crucial. You need to have a solid benchmark to work towards.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Defining the metrics and indicators seems like a pretty important component to me. How else can you measure the success or failure of the program?

I think the key is mapping who has the relevant information and data that should drive the compliance goals. That's the foundation to build the program on.
