ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
During an internal audit, a global enterprise finds that the default log entries produced by its IaaS providers already record the event timestamp, authenticated user name, unique request ID, HTTP verb, and source IP address. To satisfy the organization's policy for demonstrating accountability and legal traceability across multiple jurisdictions, which additional attribute should the cloud security architect require the providers to include in every event record?
TLS cipher suite negotiated during the session
Size of the object returned in the response
Geolocation (e.g., latitude/longitude or country of the request origin)
CPU utilization of the virtual instance at the time of the event
For cross-border investigations, simply knowing the source IP address is often insufficient because the same public IP range can map to different physical locations over time or may be registered in a location that differs from the user's actual whereabouts. Capturing geolocation information (for example, latitude/longitude or city, state, and country resolved at collection time) adds the physical context needed to prove exactly where the event originated, which is essential for meeting jurisdictional and chain-of-custody requirements. While CPU utilization, TLS cipher suite, or response size may be useful for performance or security tuning, they do not materially enhance identity-based accountability or geographic traceability.
