CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 511

Which of the following reduces the risks associated with vendor lock-in?

Answer options

• A. Making sure vendor assessments include a thorough review of terms associated with termination of service
• B. Determining whether existing vendor relationships have been evaluated for risks associated with vendor lock-out
• C. Evaluating audit reports and information security questionnaires to determine the level of risk
• D. Including the vendor's stability as an organization in the assessment process

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because a detailed review of termination terms can help identify potential exit strategies and minimize the chances of vendor lock-in. The other options focus on different aspects of vendor relationships, such as stability or risk assessments, but do not directly address the specific issue of mitigating vendor lock-in risks.
