Exam CISM topic 1 question 266 discussion

In a cloud service provider relationship, clearly defining and communicating roles and responsibilities is crucial to ensure effective information risk management. Option B poses the greatest risk because it indicates a misalignment or misunderstanding between the organization and the provider regarding the allocation of security responsibilities. If the organization believes that the provider has accepted responsibility for security issues that the provider did not actually agree to, there may be critical security gaps or vulnerabilities that go unaddressed.

C. The organization and provider identified multiple information security responsibilities that neither party was planning to provide. In this situation, if both the organization and the cloud service provider identify multiple information security responsibilities but neither party is actually planning to fulfill those responsibilities, it creates a significant gap in the management of information risk. This lack of clarity and accountability can lead to important security tasks being left unaddressed or overlooked, increasing the organization's exposure to potential risks and vulnerabilities. While the other options (A, B, and D) may also introduce risks and challenges in defining and communicating roles and responsibilities, they do not directly pose as great a risk as option C, where both parties fail to acknowledge and address crucial information security responsibilities.

The scenario that presents the GREATEST risk to an organization's ability to manage information risk appropriately is B.

I will go with D as shared responsibilities have not been clearly defined

B. The organization believes the provider accepted responsibility for issues affecting security that the provider did not accept. This situation presents a significant risk because it involves a misunderstanding or miscommunication regarding the responsibilities for security issues. If the organization assumes the cloud service provider is responsible for certain security aspects when they are not, it can lead to gaps in security coverage and increased information risk. This misunderstanding could result in inadequate security measures, breaches, or data loss
