Project Title

Presently, XYZ payroll and finance functions are successfully outsourced to a SaaS cloud provider. Since leveraging cloud solutions have shown to be viable, XYZ leadership is considering leveraging additional cloud solutions.

A) One present pain point for the geographically distributed corporation is maintaining single sign-on (SSO). What cloud-based service could provide a solution for a web-based environment?

B) The total cost of ownership (TCO) for XYZ to maintain current in-house security services is no longer cost effective. What cloud-based subscription model might provide a better alternative?

What would the benefits and drawbacks be of using each additional cloud service model?

Since XYZ payroll and finance software is SaaS-based, what security measures must be implemented to properly safeguard sensitive financial data transmissions and storage in the cloud? Offer examples such as protocols.

What legal and privacy concerns should XYZ consider knowing its payroll and finance functions are hosted on the cloud?

How might XYZ leverage (DLP) for payroll and finance functions hosted on the cloud?
