ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
An AWS solutions architect is designing a secured environment for a consortium of five hospitals that share electronic health records for joint research. The cloud must be operated by AWS, accessible only to the member hospitals, and enforce the same HIPAA controls for all tenants. Which cloud deployment model best meets these requirements?
A hybrid cloud linking each hospital's on-premises environment to a shared AWS VPC through VPN
A private cloud fully hosted on premises within one of the hospitals
A public cloud where each hospital maintains its own isolated AWS account
A community cloud hosted in AWS and shared exclusively among the participating hospitals
A community cloud is provisioned for exclusive use by a specific group of organizations that have shared concerns (for example, the same mission, security requirements, or compliance obligations). It may be hosted by a third-party provider such as AWS and can reside off-premises while remaining isolated from the general public. This matches the consortium's need to share resources under common HIPAA controls. A public cloud would expose resources to any AWS customer, a private cloud would limit availability to a single organization, and a hybrid cloud would still require maintaining separate on-premises infrastructure, which is not stated as a requirement.
