Evaluating the risk of the solution either failing or not gaining enough market penetration to exist. • Review Service Level agreements to be sure they meet your needs. • Review Security from both administrative and user aspect. • Understand Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plan from a number of stand points to include; loss of data, denial of service attacks, mis-configured containers to name a few. • Communications requirements. Are you leveraging a public internet connection or some private service? • Identity and Access Management. Are you allowing access from anywhere? Are you leveraging 2 factor authentication? Considerations

  17. Evaluate operational controls that may impact your ability to be agile. Example; Do you have direct access to your database instance? Do you have control over the deployment of updates, patches or new versions? • Evaluate where data is stored at rest and does it comply with client requirements. Does the vendor have a solution for cases where data can’t reside in the cloud or in other countries? Especially important when discussing backup and replication of data to alternative data centers. • Evaluate the impact on staff expertise and man power. • Have a clear path to exit relationship and retrieve your data. • Understand your RISK TOLERANCE.
