A project manager at a financial services firm is preparing to implement a new cloud-based service that will store sensitive company data. To ensure the project complies with internal security restrictions, which action must the project manager take first?
Review the corporate policies on data storage and cloud services
Schedule a meeting with the marketing department
Consult the project management plan for task assignments
Update the risk register with potential cloud provider issues
The project manager should review the corporate policies on data storage and cloud services to ensure the new service aligns with IT security restrictions. These policies outline approved practices, compliance requirements, and any limitations on using external cloud services for storing company data. Consulting these policies is the initial step to prevent security breaches and ensure adherence to organizational standards. While updating the risk register or consulting the project management plan are important project activities, they do not replace the primary need to understand and comply with existing IT security policies. Meeting with the marketing department is unrelated to internal IT data security restrictions.
