Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK) — Question 147

A dot release of the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) indicates:

Answer options

• A. a technical change (revision, addition, or deletion) of a number of controls that is smaller than 10% compared to the previous full release.
• B. a revision of the CCM domain structure.
• C. the introduction of new control frameworks mapped to previously published CCM controls.
• D. a technical change (revision, addition, or deletion) of a number of controls that is greater than 10% compared to the previous full release.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, accurately describes a dot release as a minor change involving less than 10% of the controls. Option B refers to a structural change in the CCM, which is not what a dot release entails. Option C talks about new control frameworks, which is unrelated to the criteria defining a dot release, and D incorrectly describes a major change rather than a minor one.
