ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A financial services firm needs to migrate 50 TB of trade‐audit files to a public cloud. Regulators require the data to remain intact and quickly available for the first 30 days, then be recoverable within 12 hours for the rest of a mandatory seven-year retention period. After seven years, the data must be permanently removed without manual intervention. Which cloud storage design best satisfies both regulatory retention and cost-optimization goals?

  • Upload the files to high-performance block storage volumes attached to a virtual machine and take monthly snapshots for seven years, deleting them manually afterward.

  • Place the files in the provider's standard object storage tier with versioning enabled and schedule administrators to delete objects manually after seven years.

  • Import the files into a cloud relational database, enable daily full backups to off-site tape, and drop the database after seven years to satisfy deletion requirements.

  • Create an object-storage lifecycle rule that stores new files in the standard tier, automatically transitions them to a lower-cost infrequent-access tier after 30 days, moves them to an archival tier (e.g., cold or deep archive) after 90 days, and permanently deletes them after seven years.
