Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 188

An enterprise has made the strategic decision to reduce operating costs for the next year and is taking advantage of cost reductions offered by an external cloud service provider. Which of the following should be the IT steering committee's PRIMARY concern?

Answer options

• A. Calculating the cost of the current solution
• B. Changing the IT steering committee charter
• C. Revising the business's balanced scorecard
• D. Updating the business risk profile

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The primary concern for the IT steering committee should be updating the business risk profile as the adoption of a cloud service can introduce new risks that need to be managed. While calculating costs, changing the charter, and revising the balanced scorecard are important, they do not directly address the immediate risks associated with transitioning to an external service.
