10 2014 Closing the GAP Recognize the different cloud deployment models. For each of these deployment modes, analyze the traditional IT controls and underlying actions. Obtain a clear and detailed overview of the responsibilities between the cloud service provider and pharma firms. Analyze if this new model will require different or additional controls to ratify the rigor of the pharma industry. 3 rd April 2014, Stevenage 10
