Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 214

Which phase of the cloud data lifecycle represents the first instance where security controls can be implemented?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Create, because this is the initial phase where data is generated, allowing for the implementation of security controls. In contrast, the Use, Share, and Store phases occur after data has already been created, making it more challenging to establish security measures at that point.
