ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your company is moving a sensitive workload to an IaaS provider. Instead of arranging its own technical testing of the cloud platform, management decides to rely on the provider's most recent SOC 2 Type II report when evaluating control effectiveness. From the perspective of audit governance, how should this reliance on the SOC 2 Type II report be classified?

  • As an external audit control, because it provides independent third-party assurance over the provider's controls.

  • As an internal audit control, because the report is obtained to satisfy the customer's internal policy requirements.

  • As an internal audit control, because it assesses the effectiveness of the customer's controls over the outsourced service.

  • As an external audit control, because it focuses on the operational effectiveness of the customer's own processes.
