Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 448

In addition to whatever audit results the provider shares with the customer, what other mechanism does the customer have to ensure trust in the provider's performance and duties?

Answer options

• A. HIPAA
• B. The contract
• C. Statutes
• D. Security control matrix

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The contract serves as a formal agreement that outlines the expectations and responsibilities of the provider, ensuring accountability. While HIPAA, statutes, and security control matrices are important, they do not provide the same direct mechanism for establishing trust in the provider's specific performance and obligations as the contract does.
