Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 258

Which of the following may unilaterally deem a cloud hosting model inappropriate for a system or application?

Answer options

• A. Multitenancy
• B. Certification
• C. Regulation
• D. Virtualization

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Regulation can impose specific legal or compliance requirements that a cloud hosting model must meet, which may render it inappropriate if those standards cannot be satisfied. Multitenancy, certification, and virtualization, while important considerations, do not have the same unilateral authority to disqualify a cloud hosting model based solely on regulatory standards.
