Selected Answer: D
D. CCM provides a controls framework, whereas CAIQ provides industry-accepted ways to document which security controls exist in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings. The Cloud Control Matrix (CCM) is a comprehensive framework of security controls that are designed to address various aspects of cloud security across different service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). It provides a structured approach to identifying and implementing necessary security measures. On the other hand, the Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ) is a tool that helps cloud customers assess the security capabilities of cloud service providers. It includes a set of questions that are mapped to the CCM controls, allowing providers to document and communicate their security practices and controls in a standardized way.
