CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 30

A SaaS provider specifies in a user agreement that the customer agrees that any misuse of the service will be the responsibility of the customer. Which of the following risk response methods was applied?

Answer options

• A. Acceptance
• B. Avoidance
• C. Transference
• D. Mitigation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Avoidance, because the SaaS provider is shifting the responsibility of misuse to the customer, effectively avoiding the risk themselves. Acceptance would imply acknowledging the risk without action, Transference would involve passing the risk to another party, and Mitigation would mean taking steps to reduce the risk, none of which apply here.
