ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your cloud operations team has detected recurring SLA violations caused by high storage I/O latency in several availability zones. Leadership has asked you to launch an ITIL-aligned continual service improvement (CSI) program that follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. Which activity should you perform during the initial Plan phase to ensure an effective start to this CSI effort?
Compare post-change performance data with historical baselines to validate improvement results.
Define and document storage-latency key performance indicators that align with business requirements and SLAs.
Roll out an updated storage driver to every hypervisor and begin real-time performance monitoring.
Delete archived performance logs that are older than the organization's retention policy to conserve space.
In ITIL's continual service improvement model, the Plan phase of the PDCA cycle focuses on understanding business objectives and defining the measurements that will demonstrate success. Establishing key performance indicators (KPIs) and targets that align with agreed service levels provides the basis for subsequent data collection (Do), analysis (Check), and corrective action (Act). Updating drivers, analysing post-change metrics, or purging old logs all occur in later PDCA stages (Do, Check, or operational housekeeping) and do not constitute the foundational planning activity required to kick off CSI.
