Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 353

Configurations and policies for a system can come from a variety of sources and take a variety of formats. Which concept pertains to the application of a set of configurations and policies that is applied to all systems or a class of systems?

Answer options

• A. Hardening
• B. Leveling
• C. Baselines
• D. Standards

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Baselines, as it defines a minimum set of configurations and policies to be applied across systems. Hardening refers to enhancing security measures, Leveling is not a common term in this context, and Standards provide guidelines but do not necessarily ensure application across all systems.
