Loss of Governance
Probability: Very High
Impact: Very High
Risk: High
When you use a vendor's cloud infrastructure, you cede control to that company on several fronts. For cloud customers, that loss of control and governance can cause difficulties in areas including confidentiality, data integrity and availability, quality of service and, particularly, security. Some contracts prohibit customers from doing port scans, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, notes ENISA.
