Explanation

In a shared responsibility model, cloud providers can offer customers access to audit logs, performance data, DLP solution results, and SIEM/SEM log feeds to support transparency and monitoring. However, a provider would not offer 'security control administration' to the customer - the administration of the provider's own security controls is exclusively the provider's responsibility. Giving customers administrative control over the provider's security systems would undermine multi-tenant security and violate the provider's operational sovereignty.
