Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK) — Question 44

Which of the following key stakeholders should be identified the earliest when an organization is designing a cloud compliance program?

Answer options

• A. Cloud process owners
• B. Internal control function
• C. Legal functions
• D. Cloud strategy owners

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Identifying Cloud strategy owners early is crucial because they provide the overall direction and objectives for the cloud initiatives, ensuring compliance aligns with strategic goals. The other roles, while important, typically follow the establishment of a clear cloud strategy and may not have the same level of influence on the initial design of the compliance program.
