An organization is migrating its services to a cloud environment and wants to document the specific security responsibilities of both the cloud provider and themselves, such as who manages data encryption and who handles infrastructure security. Which of the following would BEST help them define and document this division of responsibilities?
A responsibility matrix clearly outlines the specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to both the cloud provider and the customer. It helps the organization document who is responsible for security tasks like data encryption and infrastructure security, ensuring there is no confusion or overlap. While a Service Level Agreement (SLA) may address service expectations and performance metrics, it does not detail specific security responsibilities. An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) defines acceptable actions by users within the system, and a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) focuses on maintaining operations during disruptions—neither of which allocate security tasks between parties.
