Why each option

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a non-binding agreement that defines the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of each participating party in a cooperative arrangement.

ADefine interoperability requirements

Interoperability requirements between systems are typically defined in an Interconnection Security Agreement (ISA) or a technical Service Level Agreement, not an MOU.

BDefine data backup process

Data backup processes are defined in a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) or Business Continuity Plan (BCP), not an MOU.

CDefine onboard/offboard procedure

Onboarding and offboarding procedures are typically defined in HR policies or operational procedures, not an MOU.

DDefine responsibilities of each partyCorrect

An MOU documents the mutual agreement between two or more parties regarding their respective responsibilities, expectations, and scope of cooperation in a joint effort or shared resource arrangement. It establishes accountability and clarity of roles without carrying the full legal weight of a formal contract.
