ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your company is preparing to move several business applications to multiple SaaS providers. The CISO asks you to write a cloud-ready data classification policy that will drive labeling, encryption, and DLP configuration for all environments. Which element must the policy state explicitly so that operations teams can apply consistent technical controls regardless of where the information is stored?
A formal definition of classification levels tied to business impact and required handling controls
The names of individuals authorized to sign nondisclosure agreements with third parties
Detailed log formatting guidelines, including syslog facility and severity codes
A list of approved SaaS providers and their shared-responsibility matrices
A data classification policy must begin by defining the organization's classification levels together with the criteria that assign data to each level and the handling requirements that flow from that decision. Once these levels and their associated protections (for example, mandatory encryption or DLP inspection) are fixed, service teams can map the requirements to whatever SaaS, PaaS, or on-prem platform they operate. Simply naming cloud vendors, logging formats, or authorized signatories does not provide the actionable guidance needed to select and configure controls; those items may appear in supporting standards or procedures, not in the core classification policy.
