CCSP Exam - Question 254


Which of the following aspects of cloud computing would make it more likely that a cloud provider would be unwilling to satisfy specific certification requirements?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Cloud computing environments often host multiple customers on shared infrastructure, known as multitenancy. This characteristic can make it more challenging for a cloud provider to meet specific certification requirements that might be unique to a particular customer because the cloud environment is designed to serve the common needs of many customers rather than altering its services to satisfy individual needs. Unlike regulation, which would provide a basis for pursuing certain certifications to comply with legal requirements, multitenancy means that adjusting infrastructure for one customer's certification requirements can compromise the efficiencies that cloud computing offers.

Multitenancy, where multiple customers share the same physical resources, can complicate meeting specific certification requirements that often demand strict isolation and dedicated controls. This shared environment makes it more challenging for a cloud provider to guarantee the level of security or control that certain certifications require, potentially leading them to be unwilling or unable to satisfy those requirements.
