Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 14

If in certain litigations and investigations, the actual cloud application or environment itself is relevant to resolving the dispute in the litigation or investigation, how is the information likely to be obtained?

Answer options

• A. It may require a subpoena of the provider directly
• B. It would require a previous access agreement
• C. It would require an act of war
• D. It would require a previous contractual agreement to obtain the application or access to the environment
• E. It would never be obtained in this situation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a subpoena can legally compel the provider to release the necessary information in litigation or investigations. Options B and D imply prior agreements are needed, which may not always be the case. Option C is unrealistic and option E incorrectly assumes that the information cannot be obtained at all.
