Certified Cloud Security Professional – CCSP – Question386

Which of the following areas of responsibility always falls completely under the purview of the cloud provider, regardless of which cloud service category is used?

A.
Infrastructure
B. Data
C. Physical
D. Governance

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation: Regardless of the cloud service category used, the physical environment is always the sole responsibility of the cloud provider. In many instances, the cloud provider will supply audit reports or some general information about their physical security practices, especially to those customers or potential customers that may have regulatory requirements, but otherwise the cloud customer will have very little insight into the physical environment. With IaaS, the infrastructure is a shared responsibility between the cloud provider and cloud customer. With all cloud service categories, the data and governance are always the sole responsibility of the cloud customer.
