ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A healthcare provider is moving its patient records system to the public cloud. Regulations require that every data-access event be auditable for seven years and that the organization be able to prove the logs have not been altered after they were written. Which cloud logging design BEST satisfies the requirements for auditability, traceability, chain of custody, and non-repudiation?

  • Keep verbose application logs on each virtual machine's encrypted local disks for the full retention period.

  • Replicate logs to an in-memory cache cluster to accelerate forensic analysis queries.

  • Forward all audit events to a provider-managed logging service that digitally signs each log file and stores it in write-once object-lock storage.

  • Send logs to a self-hosted virtual machine, rotate them daily, and restrict SSH access to administrators only.
