Since CCM allows cloud customers to build a detailed list of requirements and controls to be implemented by the CSP as part of their overall third-party risk management and procurement program, will CCM alone be enough to define all the items to be considered when operating/using cloud services?

  1. No. CCM must be completed with definitions established by the CSP because of its relevance to service continuity.
  2. Yes. CCM suffices since it maps a huge library of widely accepted frameworks.
  3. Yes. When implemented in the right manner, CCM alone can help to measure, assess and monitor the risk associated with a CSP or a particular service.
  4. No. CCM can serve as a foundation for a cloud assessment program, but it needs to be completed with requirements applicable to each company.

Answer(s): C
