Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 185

Which of the following aspects of IT governance BEST addresses the potential intellectual property implications of a cloud service provider having a database in another country?

Answer options

• A. Data management
• B. Contract management
• C. Security architecture
• D. Continuity planning

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Contract management is crucial in addressing intellectual property implications, as it involves the agreements governing the use and protection of data across borders. In contrast, data management focuses on how data is handled, security architecture pertains to protecting data, and continuity planning relates to maintaining operations, none of which directly address the legal considerations of intellectual property in international contexts.
