Answer 1

Cloud-Based Systems:

• When an organization has been shifted to the cloud there are certain abilities of the cloud systems to support business continuity in any phase of the business development and organization phase.
• The cloud systems have an ability to store data independent of the location and machines. They can also provide data whenever and wherever it is needed so as to make the data omnipresent.
• The cloud-based system is based on to establish risk management processes and even procedures to provide a mission-critical service. The provision of the services is widespread.
• During any kind of disaster or recovery, the systems are up and can run without any problem. The setup can be resumed in order to balance the use of business continuity.
• The plan will also consider various events of procedures during the disaster and must be managed according to the requirements.
• Virtualization has always been the key to business continuity and this is the thing that can be easily done with the help of the cloud systems. The most authentic and effective design will be acknowledged while the disaster has occurred and there would be a certain level of stable backup operational.
• The cloud will provide us with the cost-efficient and most scalable methods of the computing for the type of industry you are been doing on a certain study. Cloud has recently become the most popular alternative for enterprise disaster recovery.

Hence, this is how cloud-based systems are used to support business continuity during times of disaster, recovery, etc.

Potential Risks to Cloud Providers:

• The potential risks in the cloud are been transferred into the cloud providers using the hardware-independent virtualization technologies that are nowadays a trend in disaster recovery.
• The cloud personnel is known for designing the cloud for such a disaster recovery and making the cloud hinge of the most effective designs of the enterprises IT architectures.

Hence, this is how can one transfer the potential risks to the cloud providers.

Data Classification in Cloud:

The data classification is one of the most important things that should be done in order to gain somethings which are fruitful from data and must also be managed but what if the data classification is not done properly.

• There are many classifications of data being practiced in the world in which we can find out many possible outcomes for the classification of the data. There is been some certain classification such as :
  • Top Secret
  • Secret
  • Confidential
• The most important is to be able to classify all the data according to the given classification but if the classification is not being done properly there can be many issues such as files can be misplaced in any of the sections and later on it can deal problems.
• If the data is been misplaced to any of the other sectors of data in which it should not be then what will happen. The security must be strong for that. Hence, we can start by implementing certain things in our security plans. They are as follows:
  • We will develop a good data classification scheme if the old one is not been able to classify the data appropriately.
  • We will let us understand what is achievable through the data realistically and then classify the data
  • We can classify the data strategy as soon as the data is approved to any one of the sectors.
  • Each of the sectors will consist of various security provisions so that it won't be easy at all to break into its security.
  • Aligning the data with the best frameworks will also be the best practice to save the data.
  • The classification of the network is required instead of the data.

Hence, these are some of the security implications in case of insufficient data classification.
