ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A financial-services startup is moving customer account data to an object storage bucket in a public IaaS cloud. The data must be encrypted at rest, and auditors have mandated enforcement of separation of duties:

  • Application micro-services should be able to encrypt and decrypt objects only.
  • Security engineers, not developers, must control key rotation, disabling, and deletion.
    Which key-management approach BEST meets these requirements while minimizing operational overhead?

  • Implement application-layer encryption using a single symmetric key stored in the source-code repository and rotate it manually when needed.

  • Generate keys in an on-premises HSM, import them into the cloud KMS, and deny the cloud applications any KMS permissions.

  • Create a customer-managed key in the cloud KMS, grant only encrypt/decrypt permissions to the application role, and restrict key administration (rotation, disable, delete) to the security team.

  • Keep the default service-managed encryption keys and schedule periodic bulk re-encryption of all objects.
