Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 43

What expectation of data custodians is made much more challenging by a cloud implementation, especially with PaaS or SaaS?

Answer options

• A. Data classification
• B. Knowledge of systems
• C. Access to data
• D. Encryption requirements

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because with PaaS or SaaS, data custodians have less visibility and control over the underlying infrastructure, making it harder to maintain comprehensive knowledge of the systems. Options A, C, and D are not as significantly impacted, as data classification, access to data, and encryption requirements can still be managed within the cloud environment.
