ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A cloud customer stores financial transaction logs in an object-storage bucket. Regulations mandate that each log must remain tamper-proof for seven years and be automatically deleted when that period ends, unless a regulator issues a legal hold that temporarily blocks deletion. Which control best meets both requirements without manual intervention?
Encrypt the logs with customer-managed keys rotated annually
Enable versioning on the bucket and schedule monthly deletion of non-current versions
Replicate the bucket to a secondary region and attach a read-only IAM policy
Configure write-once-read-many (WORM) object storage with a retention rule and legal-hold capability
Write-once-read-many (WORM) object storage enforces immutability by preventing anyone-including administrators-from altering or deleting objects for the configured retention period. The same services typically offer a separate legal-hold flag. While the legal hold is active, deletion is blocked even if the retention period has already expired; once the hold is lifted, objects whose seven-year timer has elapsed become eligible for automatic deletion. Replication, encryption, and versioning can add protection, but none of them guarantee both time-based deletion and regulator-triggered suspension of deletion.
