Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 442

When reviewing the BIA after a cloud migration, the organization should take into account new factors related to data breach impacts. One of these new factors is:

Answer options

• A. Many states have data breach notification laws.
• B. Breaches can cause the loss of proprietary data.
• C. Breaches can cause the loss of intellectual property.
• D. Legal liability can't be transferred to the cloud provider.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, highlights that organizations still retain legal liability despite using a cloud provider, meaning they cannot fully transfer this responsibility. Options A, B, and C, while relevant to the implications of data breaches, do not directly address the transfer of legal liability, which is a critical consideration after cloud migration.
