Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 138

Who is responsible for the proper rights management and configuration of exposed controls in the management plane?

Answer options

• A. The cloud provider
• B. The responsibility is split equally
• C. The cloud consumer
• D. It depends on the agreement
• E. The majority is covered by the provider

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The cloud consumer is primarily responsible for managing rights and configuring controls in the management plane, as they have direct control over the resources they deploy. The cloud provider offers the infrastructure and tools, but the consumer must ensure proper configurations are in place. Options A, B, D, and E misattribute this responsibility to the provider or suggest an unclear division of responsibility.
