Which of the following is typically included in a BPA?
Answer Options
Clear statements detailing the expectation between a customer and a service provider
The agreement that a specific function or service will be delivered at the agreed-on level of performance
Sharing of profits and losses and the addition or removal of a partner
Security requirements associated with interconnecting IT systems
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Sharing of profits and losses and the addition or removal of a partner, as well as the responsibilities of each partner, are typically included in a BPA (business partner agreement). Expectations between parties such as a company and an Internet service pro- vider are typically found in a service level agreement (SLA). Expectations include the level of performance given during the contractual service. An SLA will provide a clear means of determining whether a specific function or service has been provided according to the agreed- on level of performance. Security requirements associated with interconnecting IT systems are typically found in an interconnection security agreement, or ISA.
