CCSP Cloud Data Security Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✗

  Store, Create, Use, Share, Destroy, Archive

  Why it's wrong here

  Storage cannot precede creation, since data must exist before it can be stored; the sequence also places destruction before archiving. It is tempting because storage and destruction are genuine lifecycle phases, and ordering by infrastructure concerns rather than data state would be plausible if the lifecycle were defined around persistence.

• ✓

  Create, Store, Use, Share, Archive, Destroy

  Why this is correct

  This sequence matches the CSA cloud data lifecycle: data is created, stored, used, shared, archived, then destroyed. It satisfies the stem's ordering constraint by placing Destroy last, after Archive, reflecting that secure deletion is the terminal phase once retention obligations end.

• ✗

  Create, Use, Store, Share, Archive, Destroy

  Why it's wrong here

  Archiving follows sharing in the CSA lifecycle sequence; placing archive before destroy here is right, but store must precede use, since data is persisted before it is accessed. It is tempting because it captures most phases correctly, and would be correct if the lifecycle defined use as occurring before persistence.

• ✗

  Create, Share, Store, Use, Archive, Destroy

  Why it's wrong here

  Sharing precedes storing and using, which inverts the lifecycle: data must be created and stored before it can be shared or used. It is tempting because it lists all six genuine phases, and would be correct if the model ordered phases by collaboration rather than by data state.
