ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your company is a SaaS provider that stores sensitive customer records in two geographically separated data centers. A recent risk assessment sets a maximum recovery time objective (RTO) of 2 hours and a recovery point objective (RPO) of 15 minutes. Currently, the platform performs a full backup of all data to off-site object storage every night and relies on manually editing DNS records to point users to a passive standby site after an outage. Which single change would most directly help the service achieve the new continuity targets?

  • Adopt infrastructure-as-code templates to recreate the entire environment quickly in an alternate region when a disaster is declared.

  • Deploy network-based intrusion detection systems in both data centers to detect and alert on malicious traffic.

  • Add hourly incremental backups and automated integrity checks to the existing nightly full-backup process.

  • Implement synchronous cross-region replication and enable automated global traffic failover so clients are redirected within minutes when a site becomes unavailable.

Random Mixed
Questions are selected randomly from all chosen topics, with a preference for those you haven’t seen before. You may see several questions from the same objective or domain in a row.
Rotate by Objective
Questions cycle through each objective or domain in turn, helping you avoid long streaks of questions from the same area. You may see some repeat questions, but the distribution will be more balanced across topics.
