Exam CAS-004 topic 1 question 141 discussion

C. Compliance risk: Migrating to the cloud often involves storing, processing, and transmitting data that may be subject to various compliance requirements, such as data privacy regulations, industry standards, and contractual obligations. If the required controls cannot be implemented in the cloud environment, it could result in non-compliance with these regulations and standards, leading to potential legal and financial consequences. In the context of the question, the risk of non-compliance is the primary concern because failing to meet regulatory and compliance requirements can have serious repercussions for a business when it comes to data security, privacy, and legal obligations.

Loss of governance = loss of control Source: Verifying each answer against Chat GPT, my experience, other test banks, a written book, and weighing in the discussion from all users to create a 100% accurate guide for myself before I take the exam. (It isn't easy because of the time needed, but it is doing my diligence)

Agree with A. While compliance risk is a valid concern, it is a subset of loss of governance. The broader issue is losing control over implementing and verifying compliance controls. Loss of governance occurs because: - Control over certain aspects of security and compliance is transferred to the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). - The business must rely on the CSP to meet specific security, operational, and compliance requirements. - Gaps in the implementation of required controls increase the risk of mismanagement or vulnerabilities.

ChatGPT goes with A.

Originally thought A but the question says “cannot implement all the REQUIRED controls” I think this is beyond responsibilities transferred to the cloud.

In a cloud environment, certain controls and responsibilities are transferred to the cloud service provider (CSP). If the organization cannot implement all required controls, it may lose visibility and control over how its data and workloads are managed and secured.

A. Cloud governance is an organization’s way of defining and managing the policies or regulations for data that belong to them. This allows users working with sensitive cloud information to do so safely. Cloud governance helps you apply data regulations and simplify security procedures. This is because it is necessary to balance data privacy and security with accountability and business goals, as a cloud computing procedure.

The primary risk associated with migrating workloads from an exclusively on-premises IT infrastructure to the cloud without being able to implement all the required controls is loss of governance. This risk involves the diminished ability to manage and control IT resources, data, and security, which can subsequently lead to compliance issues and other security vulnerabilities.

A. Loss of governance Loss of governance: When a business migrates its workloads to the cloud, it often loses some degree of control over its IT infrastructure. This can result in a loss of visibility into the infrastructure, difficulties in enforcing security policies, and challenges in ensuring that the cloud service provider is meeting the necessary security and compliance requirements. This loss of governance is a significant risk because it affects the organization's ability to manage and secure its data and applications effectively. Compliance risk: While compliance risk is certainly a concern when migrating to the cloud, it is often a result of the broader issue of loss of governance. Without proper governance, it is challenging to ensure compliance with various regulations and standards.

C IS THE BEST CHOICE

Loss of governance because it only covers "this implementation". There's no indication of any compliance risk as no industry has been mentioned.

The question specifically points out that technical controls cannot be migrated, but does not broach governance policy at all. Fair to assume governance is not the issue here.

which is right answer A or C? So confused

In the absence of specific information about compliance requirements, the risk of Loss of Governance stands out as a potential consequence of migrating to the cloud without implementing all the necessary controls, impacting the ability to effectively manage and govern the IT infrastructure in the new cloud environment.

Lost of Governance best describes this specific situation. Compliance Risk would likely be more specific to not being able to meet some legal or other standard such as PCI DSS. https://cloudtweaks.com/2015/03/top-web-security-risks/ https://blogs.vmware.com/cloudhealth/loss-of-governance-in-cloud-computing/#:~:text=The%20loss%20of%20governance%20in%20cloud%20computing%20occurs%20when%20businesses,suitable%20governance%20policy%20in%20place.

A. Loss of governance: This is the most appropriate answer as it reflects the risk of not having full control or oversight over all aspects of the data, applications, and services when migrating to the cloud.

LOSS OF GOVERNANCE As a cloud consumer you need to be sufficiently in control of your IT systems. If the cloud service agreement does not give you the proper tools, you have a problem. Example: you should be able to make a backup of your important data and get it out of the cloud provider system
