ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A multinational retailer migrates its customer-loyalty database to a cloud-based analytics SaaS. The retailer still decides what personal data are collected, which reports are generated, and when data are deleted. The SaaS provider merely stores and analyzes the data according to the retailer's documented instructions. Under GDPR, which statement correctly identifies each party's role and clarifies who holds the primary legal obligation to fulfill data-subject access requests?

  • Both organizations are joint controllers because each handles customer data; consequently, the SaaS provider is primarily responsible for responding to data-subject access requests.

  • The retailer is the data controller and therefore must respond directly to data-subject access requests, while the SaaS provider acts as the data processor and only assists as instructed.

  • The retailer is the data processor and the SaaS provider is the controller, so both share equal and direct responsibility for data-subject access requests.

  • The retailer is merely the data owner with no specific GDPR role, whereas the SaaS provider is the data processor and must answer data-subject access requests directly.
