# Clarification of responsibilities

We are responsible to provide your with information on our activities in HUNT Cloud so you can identify and evaluate security and privacy risks related to your organization and/or scientific work.

You are responsible to assess, document and evaluate this information in your own scientific context, and to inform your "risk owner" about any remaining risks (residual risks) that you identified.

Your risk owner (see below) is responsible to evaluate these remaining risks and accept the risks or to require risk reduction before your use the evaluated services.

# Residual risk

It is impossible to eliminate all risks. There will always be some kind of remaining risk left, even after layers of security and privacy controls are implemented. This remaining risk is called "residual risk".

Residual risks needs to be accepted. We call the individual that have the authority to accept such residual risks on behalf of your data and/or organization "risk owner".
