ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A well-defined exit or termination clause (sometimes called a data migration or transition clause) should spell out the exact data formats, transfer mechanisms, timeframes, and the provider's level of assistance when service is terminated-whether for convenience, breach, or provider insolvency. By doing so, the cloud customer preserves access to its data and evidentiary records for eDiscovery or forensic needs. A right-to-audit clause supports compliance monitoring but does not, by itself, ensure data retrieval after service cessation. MTTR service-level metrics focus on restoration of a running service, not on permanent data extraction at contract end. Limitation of liability clauses address financial exposure rather than operational continuity or data access.
