An enterprise cloud engineering team at an online learning platform is standardizing infrastructure deployments across multiple cloud environments. To prevent configuration drift, the team publishes a mandatory document defining the mandatory minimum technical security configuration settings—such as turning off root SSH access, enforcing minimum encryption protocol versions, and disabling unused network daemons—that every Linux virtual machine must satisfy before deployment. Which of the following governance document types best describes this mandatory configuration document?
- Security BaselineCevap
- BSecurity Guideline
- CAcceptable Use Policy
- DCompensating Control
Cevap
Security Baseline
The correct answer is Security Baseline because a baseline specifies the mandatory minimum technical security configurations, settings, and hardening rules required for a specific system or platform before it enters production.
