Certified Cloud Security Professional – CCSP – Question316 - Certified Cloud Security Professional

With the rapid emergence of cloud computing, very few regulations were in place that pertained to it specifically, and organizations often had to resort to using a collection of regulations that were not specific to cloud in order to drive audits and policies.
Which standard from the ISO/IEC was designed specifically for cloud computing?

A. ISO/IEC 27001
B. ISO/IEC 19889
C. ISO/IEC 27001:2015
D. ISO/IEC 27018

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: ISO/IEC 27018 was implemented to address the protection of personal and sensitive information within a cloud environment. ISO/IEC 27001 and its later 27001:2015 revision are both general-purpose data security standards. ISO/IEC 19889 is an erroneous answer.
