ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

The FedRAMP Security Assessment Report (SAR) is produced by a certified third-party assessment organization (3PAO) after it tests a cloud service provider's controls against the NIST 800-53 baseline over an extended period. The SAR details the design and operating effectiveness of security, availability, confidentiality, and related controls, making it the most comprehensive third-party-validated source of assurance for U.S. public IaaS cloud services. A SOC 2 Type II report also covers control effectiveness over time but is generally narrower in scope and not tailored to the stringent requirements of U.S. federal cloud security baselines. An ISO/IEC 27001 certificate only confirms the existence of an information security management system at a point in time, and marketing documents provide no formal assurance.
