Exam CCSK topic 1 question 56 discussion

C is correct. Customers should understand that providers can (and often should) consider on-premises audits a security risk when providing multitenant services. Multiple on-premises audits from large numbers of customers present clear logistical and security challenges, especially when the provider relies on shared assets to create the resource pools. Ref: Security-Guidance-v4.0, Pg 57-58.

The type of environment in which it is impractical to allow the customer to conduct their own audit, making it important for data center operators to provide auditing for the customers is: C. Multi-tenant environments In multi-tenant environments, multiple customers or tenants share the same physical infrastructure, such as servers, storage, and networking resources, provided by the cloud service provider. Due to the shared nature of the infrastructure, it can be challenging or impractical for individual customers to conduct their own audits of the underlying infrastructure. In such environments, data center operators play a crucial role in ensuring the security and compliance of the infrastructure. They are responsible for implementing appropriate security measures, maintaining regulatory compliance, and providing auditing capabilities to meet the requirements of different customers. The data center operators are expected to have robust auditing processes in place, allowing customers to verify the security controls and compliance measures implemented within the multi-tenant environment.

C- In multi-tenant environments, multiple customers or organizations share the same infrastructure and resources provided by the data center operators. In such a scenario, it can be impractical or infeasible for each customer to conduct their own audit of the infrastructure and security measures. Due to the shared nature of the environment, allowing individual customer audits may disrupt the operations and compromise the privacy and security of other tenants' data.
