Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 51

What is true of searching data across cloud environments?

Answer options

• A. You might not have the ability or administrative rights to search or access all hosted data.
• B. The cloud provider must conduct the search with the full administrative controls.
• C. All cloud-hosted email accounts are easily searchable.
• D. Search and discovery time is always factored into a contract between the consumer and provider.
• E. You can easily search across your environment using any E-Discovery tool.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because access to data in cloud environments often depends on the permissions granted to the user, and administrative rights may be limited. Option B is incorrect as the cloud provider does not necessarily have to conduct searches, while C is misleading since not all email accounts might be searchable. Option D is not universally true as contracts may vary, and E is incorrect because not all E-Discovery tools have the same capabilities across different environments.
