CCM: What is the role of the Scope Applicability column in the CCM?
The Scope Applicability column in the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) describes the applicability of the controls in the domains. It helps to identify the specific controls relevant to various aspects within the cloud environment, ensuring that users can see which controls apply to particular scenarios or components within the domain.
As realized by Jamber, the answer is C…
Scope Applicability column: This column in the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) identifies the specific cloud elements that a control applies to. Architectural elements: While some controls may be relevant to broader architectural considerations, the Scope Applicability column focuses on specific aspects of the cloud environment where the control needs to be implemented. Overall domain: The applicability of the overall domain is typically addressed in the domain description itself, not in the Scope Applicability column. Industry standards: The mapping of existing industry standards to the controls is often provided in a separate section of the CCM, not within the Scope Applicability column.
Changing my answer (C). In the introduction of the CCM it states: d. CCM Scope Applicability (Mappings): This tab includes the mappings between CCM V4 and numerous standards (ISO 27001/2/17) and best practices (CIS V8) control sets relevant to cloud computing.
