ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your organization is finalizing a contract to host sensitive customer records with a SaaS provider that relies on several third-party subprocessors. To satisfy internal policy and regulatory obligations, the CISO demands the ability for your company or its designated auditors to perform onsite inspections and review security evidence at any location where your data is processed, even after an incident. Which contractual clause specifically enables this capability?
A data localization clause specifying the countries where customer data must reside
A limitation of liability clause that caps the provider's financial responsibility for security breaches
A right-to-audit clause granting customer or third-party assessors access to provider and subprocessor facilities and records
A service availability SLA clause defining uptime and performance metrics for the SaaS application
A right-to-audit clause contractually obligates the cloud service provider to allow the customer (or its appointed third parties, including regulators) to inspect facilities, systems, and records relevant to the service. This ensures transparency and supports compliance validation throughout the contract term and after security incidents. A limitation of liability clause only caps financial exposure, a data localization clause restricts geographic storage but does not grant inspection rights, and a service availability SLA defines uptime targets without providing audit access.
