CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 540

ACSP, which wants to compete in the market, has been approaching companies in an attempt to gain business, The CSP is able to provide the same uptime as other CSPs at a markedly reduced cost. Which of the following would be the MOST significant business risk to a company that signs a contract with this CSP?

Answer options

• A. Resource exhaustion
• B. Geographic location
• C. Control plane breach
• D. Vendor lock-in

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The most significant business risk when signing with this CSP is vendor lock-in, as lower costs may lead to reliance on their services, making it difficult to switch providers later. Resource exhaustion, geographic location, and control plane breaches are legitimate concerns but do not pose the same level of long-term strategic risk as vendor lock-in does.
