An enterprise plans to migrate its applications and data to an external cloud environment. Which of the following should be the ClO's PRIMARY focus before the migration?

Migrating to an external cloud environment fundamentally changes how information is stored, processed, and secured, making it critical to review and update the information governance framework beforehand. This ensures that policies for data classification, retention, access, and compliance are appropriate for the cloud environment and legally binding agreements are in place with the cloud provider.

Selecting best-of-breed cloud offerings is a technical decision that follows the strategic and governance considerations.

Updating the enterprise architecture (EA) repository is a documentation task that occurs after governance decisions have informed the architectural changes.

Conducting IT staff training is an implementation step that comes after the strategy, governance, and architecture decisions have been made.
