Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 1174

Which of the following should be of GREATEST concern to an organization planning to migrate its customer data warehouse to an offshore operation?

Answer options

• A. Cross-border flow of information
• B. Inadequate vendor risk management
• C. Time zone differences and implications
• D. Increased business continuity costs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The cross-border flow of information is the most pressing issue due to the various legal and regulatory challenges associated with data transfer across borders. While inadequate vendor risk management, time zone differences, and increased business continuity costs are important considerations, they do not present as immediate a risk as the potential legal implications of handling data in different jurisdictions.
