Exam CCSP topic 1 question 55 discussion

However, in the context of the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification, the "destroy" phase of the cloud data lifecycle refers to securely deleting data and ensuring that it is irrecoverable once it is no longer needed. In a SaaS model, customers use applications that are hosted and managed by the cloud service provider. The challenge during the "destroy" phase for SaaS customers is ensuring that their data within the application is properly deleted when it is no longer needed. This includes ensuring that all copies and backups of the data are securely erased to prevent unauthorized access or data leakage. While IaaS customers have direct control over virtualized infrastructure resources, including data storage and virtual machines, securely deleting data in IaaS can be more straightforward compared to SaaS because customers have direct access to the underlying infrastructure and can manage data deletion processes more directly.
