Exam CGEIT topic 1 question 250 discussion

B. Contract management Contract management is the aspect of IT governance that best addresses the potential intellectual property implications of a cloud service provider having a database in another country. When a cloud service provider hosts a database in another country, there are significant legal and regulatory considerations, including intellectual property laws and data sovereignty issues. The contract between the organization and the cloud service provider is the primary mechanism for addressing these implications. A well-structured contract should include clauses and provisions that clearly define ownership rights, data protection measures, jurisdictional issues, and intellectual property rights related to the data stored in the cloud. It should also address compliance with relevant laws and regulations governing intellectual property and data privacy in both the organization's country and the country where the database is hosted.
