Customer is responsible for in-application security.(e.g. user role access) and the security of on-premise components that maybe required for integration purposes. In Public Cloud deployments the responsibility for infrastructure falls on the supplier and in the event of SaaS solutions the infrastructure and application is managed by the suppliers controls.
