CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 91

A company is subcontracting part of a large project to another company. Management wants to ensure that there is a secure way for employees from both companies to share data without exposing internal information to employees at the other company.
Which of the following cloud models BEST serves this purpose?

Answer options

• A. Hybrid
• B. Public
• C. Private
• D. Community

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Community cloud model is ideal for this situation as it allows multiple organizations with shared concerns to collaborate securely, enabling data sharing without compromising internal information. The Hybrid model combines different types of clouds, which may not provide the necessary security for sensitive data. The Public cloud is open to everyone and lacks the necessary privacy controls. The Private cloud, while secure, does not facilitate collaboration between multiple organizations as effectively as the Community model.
