Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK) — Question 148

What business continuity considerations does a cloud customer need when implementing a cloud-based infrastructure?

Answer options

• A. Frequent review of cloud backups to ensure business continuity when needed
• B. Review of cloud service provider contractual commitments to the main continuity of the provisioned service
• C. Conducting of business continuity plan (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR) tests on the cloud service provider
• D. Requirement for 100% uptime commitment from the cloud service provider at all times

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because understanding the contractual commitments of the cloud service provider is crucial for ensuring service continuity. While reviewing backups (A), conducting tests (C), and demanding 100% uptime (D) are important, they do not address the foundational contractual obligations that directly impact business continuity.
