ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 Question 29
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 — Question 29 of 60
SaaS merits — what responsibilities SaaS eliminates for the user.
SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers a ready-made application — the user does not build, develop, or deploy anything. The provider handles all construction.
The key merit: no system construction is needed. Since there is no development, the user does not need to define security requirements for application development or design storage volumes for system logs.
Why not others:
- (a) Access management (password policies, initialization procedures) is still the user's responsibility
- (c) System operation concerns like failure procedures and backups may still involve shared responsibility — not fully eliminated
- (d) Security management (rules, admin assignment) remains the user organization's responsibility
Key rule: SaaS eliminates construction entirely — no development means no need for dev-related security requirements or infrastructure design.
