Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK) — Question 263

To minimize the risk of noncompliance with regulatory equipment when switching to a new cloud service, it is MOST important to:

Answer options

• A. adopt a hard-cutover approach to minimize the risk of data loss.
• B. test and validate that the new service meets predefined security targets.
• C. seek assurances from peer organizations already using the proposed cloud service.
• D. ensure the new service provider includes a pilot option of the cloud solution.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because testing and validating that the new service meets predefined security targets ensures compliance with regulations. Option A focuses on data loss, which while important, does not directly address regulatory compliance. Option C, while useful for gaining insights, does not guarantee compliance. Option D may assist in evaluation but does not ensure that compliance requirements are met.
