ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your security team must archive cloud audit logs to meet a regulation that mandates seven years of write-once-read-many (WORM) retention while also minimizing cost after the first 90 days. The company already stores logs in an S3-compatible object-storage service that supports both lifecycle policies and an "object lock" feature. Which archival configuration BEST satisfies the regulatory immutability requirement and the long-term cost objective?

  • Keep the logs in object storage without object lock but restrict write access to a service account protected by multifactor authentication.

  • Enable object lock in compliance mode on the log bucket and add a lifecycle policy that transitions objects to the provider's cold archive tier after 90 days.

  • Store the logs on encrypted block storage volumes and replicate them asynchronously to a second region for seven years.

  • Place the logs on a managed file-share service, turn on file versioning, and keep weekly snapshots for seven years.
