ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

You are the cloud security architect for a multinational enterprise that runs its workloads in several regions of the same public IaaS provider. Compliance mandates state that all audit logs (management API calls, hypervisor events, and guest-OS logs) must be retained for seven years, protected against alteration or deletion, and remain accessible even if an entire region suffers an outage. Which design choice best satisfies all of these requirements?

  • Store logs locally on each tenant virtual machine and encrypt them with application-managed keys.

  • Forward all logs to a centralized logging service in each region and replicate them later using periodic block-storage snapshots.

  • Stream all logs in near real-time to a dedicated security account in a different region, store them in object storage with WORM retention locks, and restrict access through role-based policies.

  • Enable the provider's flow-log feature and rely on its default log retention settings.
