Contoso Corp has decided to make the decision to move some department information systems to the cloud. Below are the conversations with the department leaders. Prepare a written response for each of the department leader. Your response must also include justification of your solution based on research.

PART I

  1. Human Resources Director
    1. Our HR platform is proprietary, resides       in our datacenter server, and we want to continue using it. We would like       to continue to the use the system as it is in the Cloud. The company that       supports the product explain that they must have remote access to the       Windows Server to make updates.
  2. CIO
    1. Since the organization has decided to       shift to the cloud, I thought this would be a great opportunity to       address user login security. We had a successful attack in which       attackers were able to brute force a password and login in from       Australia. We do not conduct business outside of the US and would like a       cloud-based service that can notify or even block a user from logging in       overseas.
  3. Legal Department      Director            
    1. Since we are a       federal entity, we must ensure that our chosen service provider complies       with the protection of federal information. What cloud service provider       can you recommend and how do we know that they offer compliance with US       government protection standards?

PART II

  1. Review the attached service level      agreement (SLA) and address the following points.
    1. Outline the purpose of an SLA
    2. After examining the attached SLA       discuss any missing elements and be sure to support your assertion with       research
    3. Discuss at       least two additional SLA considerations that Contoso should make based on       the solution you selected in Part I
