Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 251

Which is the appropriate phase of the cloud data lifecycle for determining the data's classification?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'Create' phase is the right stage for determining data classification because this is when data is initially generated and its type and sensitivity can be assessed. The other phases such as 'Use', 'Share', and 'Store' involve handling and managing data that has already been classified, rather than classifying it for the first time.
