ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A mid-size healthcare provider needs to place its electronic health record (EHR) workloads in an environment that is accessible only to U.S. organizations subject to HIPAA. It also wants several regional hospitals and research universities-each facing the same regulatory obligations-to access that environment for joint analytics, without the overhead of building separate private interconnects to every participant. Which cloud deployment model best satisfies these shared governance and compliance requirements?
Adopt a multi-cloud strategy that distributes the EHR system across two or more public cloud providers.
Host the application in a regional public cloud and rely on encryption and IAM policies to enforce HIPAA compliance.
Deploy the EHR system in a community cloud dedicated to HIPAA-regulated organizations.
Use a hybrid cloud that combines the provider's private data center with a public cloud for research workloads.
A community cloud is provisioned for a specific group of consumers that share common requirements such as mission, security, or compliance obligations. By hosting the EHR system in a community cloud that is restricted to HIPAA-regulated entities, the provider ensures that all tenants are subject to identical controls while avoiding the complexity of maintaining multiple private connections. A hybrid cloud would still involve integrating resources across dissimilar environments, increasing management overhead. A purely public cloud does not restrict access to organizations with the same compliance mandate, and a multi-cloud approach focuses on using several providers rather than enforcing a shared regulatory boundary within a single environment.
