# Cloud Data Protection (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS)
One-sentence definition: Applying shared responsibility and data-centric controls across cloud service models.
## Key Facts
- SaaS: focus on identity, config, DLP/DRM, tenant isolation, exports.
- PaaS: secure platform configs, secrets, storage encryption, network policies.
- IaaS: responsibility for OS/apps; storage/network encryption, backups, CSPM.
- Ensure region selection and residency compliance; vendor DPAs.
- Logs and keys: customer-managed keys (CMK) where feasible.
- **Verify:** check official (ISC)² CBK and current exam outline.
## Exam Relevance
- Choose controls per service model and data sensitivity.
**Mnemonic:** “SaaS = Settings; IaaS = Systems.”
## Mini Scenario

A: CASB/DLP with export restrictions and domain allowlists.
## Revision Checklist
