During the cloud service provider evaluation process, which of the following BEST helps identify baseline configuration requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

: During the cloud service provider evaluation process, benchmark controls lists BEST help identify baseline configuration requirements.Benchmark controls lists are standardized sets of security and compliance controls that are applicable to different cloud service models, deployment models, and industry sectors1.They provide a common framework and language for assessing and comparing the security posture and capabilities of cloud service providers2.They also help cloud customers to define their own security and compliance requirements and expectations based on best practices and industry standards3.

Some examples of benchmark controls lists are:

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), which is a comprehensive list of 133 control objectives that cover 16 domains of cloud security4.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53, which is a catalog of 325 security and privacy controls for federal information systems and organizations, including cloud-based systems5.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) / International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27017, which is a code of practice that provides guidance on 121 information security controls for cloud services based on ISO/IEC 270026.
