Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 109

Within a SaaS environment, what is the responsibility on the part of the cloud customer in regard to procuring the software used?

Answer options

• A. Maintenance
• B. Licensing
• C. Development
• D. Purchasing

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as cloud customers are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate licenses to use the software provided by the SaaS vendor. Options A, C, and D do not accurately reflect the specific responsibility of licensing, as maintenance and development are usually handled by the service provider, and purchasing is not a typical requirement in a SaaS model.
