A certification target helps in the formation of a continuous certification framework by incorporating:

the service level objective (SLO) and service qualitative objective (SQO).

the service level objective (SLO) and service qualitative objective (SQO).

the scope description and security attributes to be tested.

the scope description and security attributes to be tested.

the frequency of evaluating security attributes.

the frequency of evaluating security attributes.

CSA STAR level 2 attestation.

CSA STAR level 2 attestation.

Suggested answer: B
Explanation:

According to the blog article ''Continuous Auditing and Continuous Certification'' by the Cloud Security Alliance, a certification target helps in the formation of a continuous certification framework by incorporating the scope description and security attributes to be tested1A certification target is a set of security objectives that a cloud service provider (CSP) defines and commits to fulfill as part of the continuous certification process1Each security objective is associated with a policy that specifies the assessment frequency, such as every four hours, every day, or every week1A certification target also includes a set of tools that are capable of verifying that the security objectives are met, such as automated scripts, APIs, or third-party services1

The other options are not correct because:

Option A is not correct because the service level objective (SLO) and service qualitative objective (SQO) are not part of the certification target, but rather part of the service level agreement (SLA) between the CSP and the cloud customer. An SLO is a measurable characteristic of the cloud service, such as availability, performance, or reliability.An SQO is a qualitative characteristic of the cloud service, such as security, privacy, or compliance2The SLA defines the expected level of service and the consequences of not meeting it. The SLA may be used as an input for defining the certification target, but it is not equivalent or synonymous with it.

Option C is not correct because the frequency of evaluating security attributes is not the only component of the certification target, but rather one aspect of it. The frequency of evaluating security attributes is determined by the policy that is associated with each security objective in the certification target.The policy defines how often the security objective should be verified by the tools, such as every four hours, every day, or every week1However, the frequency alone does not define the certification target, as it also depends on the scope description and the security attributes to be tested.

Option D is not correct because CSA STAR level 2 attestation is not a component of the certification target, but rather a prerequisite for it.CSA STAR level 2 attestation is a third-party independent assessment of the CSP's security posture based on ISO/IEC 27001 and CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM)3CSA STAR level 2 attestation provides a baseline assurance level for the CSP before they can define and implement their certification target for continuous certification.CSA STAR level 2 attestation is also required for CSA STAR level 3 certification, which is based on continuous auditing and continuous certification3
