Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 CCM-CEK-15: Key Activation

Generate keys so they start in a pre-activated state, meaning that a new key cannot be used until someone has explicitly authorised its use. The process includes provisions for legal and regulatory requirements.

You are reading one control. How much of Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 have you already done?

Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 CCM-CEK-15 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 140 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 12 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
