Selected Answer: C
C. The risk is transferred to the cloud provider In a Software as a Service (SaaS) agreement with a 99.9% uptime service level agreement (SLA), the cloud provider typically takes ownership of the availability risk. This means that the cloud provider is responsible for ensuring that the SaaS application meets the specified uptime level, and they bear the liability for any downtime that falls short of the agreed-upon SLA.

The answer is D. The treatment option is transfer, but in such a case, the ownership of the risk is shared between both parties in the relationship.

The liability for the risk is owned by the sales department. I go with B. Risk can not be shared.

In the ISACA review manual 7th edition Transfer is synonymous with Share.

It is very obviously C. Risk is transferred in a SAAS model where the sla states 99.9% uptime.

Yet transfer = shared risk. Annoying question, to be certain.
