00:00:00.740 --> 00:00:04.820
Let's take a few minutes to review the primary points of

00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:06.970
legal, risk, and compliance domain.

00:00:07.180 --> 00:00:07.820
First,

00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:13.860
it's really important to pay attention to the exam content outline that

00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:19.670
shows that there are five main areas. Articulate legal requirements and

00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:24.060
unique risk within the cloud environment is the first of five areas

00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:27.660
that you need to know for the exam. Understand privacy issues.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:32.759
Understand audit process, methodologies, and required adaptations for a

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:33.880
cloud environment.

00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:38.370
Understand implications of cloud to enterprise risk management. And

00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:42.820
understand outsourcing and contract design in the cloud.

00:00:42.830 --> 00:00:47.530
The key points to recall is make sure that whatever the law

00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:52.020
is in the place where you are consuming cloud services needs

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:53.740
to be observed and followed.

00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:58.310
Also, risk management is not just being risk adverse,

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.900
it's actually applying what the business focus is in the

00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:07.720
security practice. And when you want assurance for maintaining

00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:10.230
and consuming services in the cloud,

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:13.550
you have to follow through with cloud audits.

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.390
Sometimes it just means consuming the audit that's already been done

00:01:17.390 --> 00:01:21.890
for you. From a legal and regulatory requirements perspective, always

00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:24.740
know first what the global standards are,

00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:28.290
what kind of international law may have impact on what it

00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:30.030
is that you're trying to accomplish.

00:01:30.050 --> 00:01:33.140
You'll recall during the course, the International Court of

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:36.610
Justice hears contentious proceedings and other types of

00:01:36.610 --> 00:01:38.850
hearings for international law.

00:01:38.940 --> 00:01:42.710
Regional standards is probably going to be the largest

00:01:42.710 --> 00:01:46.060
difference maker when it comes to what you need to adhere

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:48.190
to in consuming cloud services,

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.520
but you should also know about municipal standards as well.

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:55.580
Where regulatory focuses on particular business practices, in

00:01:55.580 --> 00:01:57.810
particular industry verticals,

00:01:57.820 --> 00:02:03.120
law focuses on what is required of all citizens of a regime and visitors.

00:02:03.130 --> 00:02:03.740
In essence,

00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:08.240
you are visiting another location when you're consuming cloud services

00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:14.380
outside of the region where you are. Cloud risk management starts with

00:02:14.390 --> 00:02:16.980
understanding the separation between threats,

00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:19.550
threat agents, countermeasures, safeguards,

00:02:19.550 --> 00:02:22.080
controls, assets, impact,

00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:26.660
understanding these things are really important, and being able to make sure

00:02:26.670 --> 00:02:31.250
that you select the proper type of risk management framework for your

00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:37.620
consumption of the cloud. As an example, ISO 31000 is a cloud‑ready risk

00:02:37.630 --> 00:02:42.400
management framework. Quantitative and qualitative analysis, analysis, that

00:02:42.410 --> 00:02:48.910
are empirical versus something that is subjective in a qualitative way, both

00:02:48.910 --> 00:02:50.870
of these work well together.

00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:55.730
Qualitative helps to ensure that you are putting the right resources and the

00:02:55.730 --> 00:02:59.370
right focus and the right amount of threat in your environment.

00:02:59.380 --> 00:03:02.800
Then you can follow that up with quantitative. Remember

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.330
the four aspects of risk treatment, the modification of risk,

00:03:07.330 --> 00:03:12.040
the sharing of risk, the avoidance of risk, and risk retention.

00:03:12.050 --> 00:03:16.750
All of these are driven by what the business wants to accomplish.

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:22.010
Keep in mind, the greatest assurance that you can have in consuming

00:03:22.010 --> 00:03:25.930
cloud services that align with your business requirements is

00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:28.100
through an attestation or certification.

00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:32.670
Attestations follow the course of service organization control audits 1

00:03:32.670 --> 00:03:37.970
and 2, and type 2 and type 2, and certifications are plentiful in the

00:03:37.970 --> 00:03:45.390
cloud. Two noteworthy ones are ISO 27017 and 18 that are cloud designed

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.750
certifications for protecting privacy.

00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:52.190
Cloud provider registries are also helpful in your

00:03:52.190 --> 00:03:54.860
selection criteria for cloud consumers.

00:03:54.870 --> 00:03:57.910
Remember EuroCloud, StarAudit, and also the STAR

00:03:57.910 --> 00:04:00.320
registry from Cloud Security Alliance.

00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:08.580
That ISO 27017 and 27018 are replicas of ISO 27001

00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:12.260
and 27002, except for the cloud.

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.300
The acceptability of testing on a provider's platform should be

00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:20.260
investigated in the rules of engagement before you do test.

00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:21.570
Finally,

00:04:21.760 --> 00:04:26.310
be sure to take the self‑assessment questions that accompany

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:29.170
the study guide at the end of this domain.

00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:34.620
Think about why one answer is going to be superior than another, and

00:04:34.630 --> 00:04:38.650
make sure to grab that study guide, as it is a good way of thinking

00:04:38.650 --> 00:04:42.130
about terminology through a series of questions.

00:04:42.140 --> 00:04:48.580
Also, make sure that you focus on the domain that is giving you the most

00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:53.550
difficulty now that you have reached the conclusion, this being the six of six

00:04:53.550 --> 00:04:57.680
domains. Wishing you the best in your exam endeavors!
