ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
While mapping security controls to a new multi-cloud payments platform, the lead architect wants to use the CSA Enterprise Architecture to pinpoint where governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) activities should live so they influence every cloud layer without forming a separate security silo. According to the CSA Enterprise Architecture model, which architectural component provides this cross-cutting capability?
The CSA Enterprise Architecture depicts four horizontal technology layers (Physical, Resource Abstraction & Control, Service, and Application). Running vertically through all of them is the Meta-Structure, which includes the Governance, Risk & Compliance and Security & Risk Management functions. Because this vertical spans every layer, it ensures that GRC considerations are embedded in-rather than bolted onto-each part of the cloud stack. The other options describe horizontal layers; they deliver specific technical capabilities but do not provide an end-to-end governance overlay.
