CISSP Exam - Question 164


The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has decided that as part of business modernization efforts the organization will move towards a cloud architecture. All business-critical data will be migrated to either internal or external cloud services within the next two years. The CIO has a PRIMARY obligation to work with personnel in which role in order to ensure proper protection of data during and after the cloud migration?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has a primary obligation to work with the Information Owner in order to ensure proper protection of data during and after the cloud migration. The Information Owner is responsible for defining the requirements for data protection and ensuring that the necessary controls are in place. While the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) also plays a crucial role in implementing and enforcing security policies, the primary responsibility for the protection requirements lies with the Information Owner.

I think in the context of the CISSP, the CISO generally reports to the CIO. So in this case, the CIO primarily needs to work with the CISO. The next logical step is that the CISO would work with the information owners to properly protect the data

Information Owner (or Data Owner) they own the data and usually the CIO report to them. While CISO reports to CIO. ! In my opinion, for the CIO to ensure the proper protection for the data, he should understand what is the protection requirement from the data owner first.

I'd say B. It says primary obligation, not about hierarchy or sth. You can do this move without the CISO. Can you do it without the information owner? You are moving the information to cloud. owners are responsible with these information. You are obliged to do with this personnel. Sorry, dear ciso.
