Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge v5 (CCSK) — Question 1

Which aspect is most important for effective cloud governance?

Answer options

• A. Establishing a governance hierarchy
• B. Implementing best-practice cloud security control objectives
• C. Formalizing cloud security policies
• D. Negotiating SLAs with cloud providers

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as implementing best-practice cloud security control objectives ensures that security measures are effective and aligned with organizational goals. While establishing a governance hierarchy, formalizing policies, and negotiating SLAs are important, they do not directly address the critical need for robust security in cloud environments.
