ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

During a threat modeling session, you are asked to choose an appropriate target verification level from the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) for a newly written microservice. The microservice is publicly reachable via a REST API, accepts credit-card account data and personal identifiers, and stores them in an encrypted cloud database. What is the minimum ASVS verification level the development team should commit to achieving?

  • Level 1 - Basic, because the serverless environment inherits sufficient security controls from the provider.

  • Level 1 - Basic, because it covers all internet-facing applications with minimal risk.

  • Level 2 - Standard, because it is the baseline for internet-exposed applications that handle sensitive data such as PII and payment information.

  • Level 3 - Advanced, because any code running in the cloud must meet the highest ASVS requirements.
