CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 181

A company wants to take advantage of cloud benefits while retaining control of and maintaining compliance with all its security policy obligations. Based on the non-functional requirements, which of the following should the company use?

Answer options

• A. Hybrid cloud, as use is restricted to trusted customers
• B. IaaS, as the cloud provider has a minimal level of security responsibility
• C. PaaS, as the cloud customer has the most security responsibility
• D. SaaS, as the cloud provider has less security responsibility

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, IaaS, because it offers the company control over the security infrastructure while the cloud provider maintains a limited security responsibility. Options A and C do not align with the requirement of maintaining compliance and control, while option D suggests that SaaS provides less security responsibility, which does not meet the company's need for control.
