Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 115

What is the first stage of the cloud data lifecycle where security controls can be implemented?

Answer options

• A. Use
• B. Store
• C. Share
• D. Create

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as security controls should be established right at the 'Create' stage to protect data from the outset. Implementing security measures in the later stages, such as 'Use' or 'Share', may expose the data to risks that could have been mitigated earlier.
