A&A-03: Risk Based Planning Assessment
Risk Based Planning Assessment
A&A-03: Are independent audit and assurance assessments performed according to risk-based plans and policies?
Independent audit and assurance assessments should be based on risk-based plans that define audit objectives, scope, resources, timeline and deliverables, documentation and reporting requirements, use of relevant technology and data analysis techniques, costs, communication, and escalation protocols.

Both CSPs and CSCs may take guidance from industry standards like the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 31000 for risk management and risk-based planning.
Control implemented
Not applicable - A “N/A” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is out of scope of the assessment. The “SSRM control ownership” column is to be left blank (e.g., greyed out), and optionally the CSP may explain why it is the case (“CSP Implementation Description”).
No - A “No” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is not implemented, while in scope of the assessment. The CSP has to assign the implementation responsibility of the control to the relevant party under column “SSRM control ownership”, and optionally elaborate on the “why” (has not been implemented), and “what” has to be done for its implementation by that party.
Yes - A “Yes” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is implemented. The CSP indicates the responsible and accountable parties (SSRM control ownership), and optionally elaborates on the implementation “how-to” per relevant party CSP and/or CSC.
Control ownership
CSP-owned - The CSP is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
CSC-owned - The Cloud Service Customer (CSC) is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
Third-party - The third-party CSP in the supply chain (e.g., an IaaS provider) is responsible for CCM control implementation, while the CSP is fully accountable.
Shared CSP and CSC - Both the CSP and CSC share CCM control implementation responsibility and accountability.
Shared CSP and third party - Any CCM control implementation responsibility is shared between CSP and the third party, but the CSP remains fully accountable.
