Course Description

Organizations today often have IT infrastructures that are a combination of on-premises and cloud-based architectures. Cloud governance lets organizations gain control over that infrastructure and implement various security and privacy measures. By adopting rules and guiding principles, organizations are more capable of modernizing, innovating, and moving to the cloud. These rules and principles also help organizations anticipate and address any possible security and compliance risks. Cloud governance requires a vision as well as process and policy structures. It brings together cloud and other technology strategies, letting organizations confidently navigate the cloud.

In CCSP Cloud Governance: Data Privacy and Audit, you’ll learn how governance is both an activity and a structure, and that both are necessary for well-managed cloud computing. You’ll learn how cloud governance is implemented and how to define and assign responsibilities and roles. You’ll also gain an understanding of contract management and the importance of assessing organizational due care and due diligence when implementing cloud governance.

  • Implement cloud governance as both an activity and a structure for well-managed cloud computing
