CCSK · Question #94

What are the barriers to developing full confidence in security as a service (SecaaS)?

The correct answer is E. Compliance, multi-tenancy, and vendor lock-in. SecaaS adoption faces key barriers around regulatory compliance requirements, shared infrastructure concerns with multi-tenancy, and dependency on a single provider creating vendor lock-in.

Why each option

SecaaS adoption faces key barriers around regulatory compliance requirements, shared infrastructure concerns with multi-tenancy, and dependency on a single provider creating vendor lock-in.

AFederation bridges, software compatibility, and implementation

Federation bridges and software compatibility are implementation challenges but are not the primary recognized barriers to confidence in SecaaS adoption.

BDelegations, bipartisan tenancy, and implementation

Bipartisan tenancy is not a defined cloud security concept, making this option technically inaccurate.

CSingle tenancy and vendor lock-in

Single tenancy is actually a mitigation strategy for isolation concerns, not a barrier, and while vendor lock-in is valid, this answer is incomplete.

DProvisioning, federation, and compliance

Provisioning and federation are operational concerns but are not identified as the primary barriers to developing full confidence in SecaaS.

ECompliance, multi-tenancy, and vendor lock-inCorrect

Compliance is a barrier because organizations must ensure SecaaS providers meet regulatory standards such as HIPAA or PCI-DSS, which can be difficult to verify externally. Multi-tenancy raises concerns about data isolation between customers sharing the same security infrastructure. Vendor lock-in limits flexibility because proprietary SecaaS integrations make switching providers costly and complex.
