CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 3

An organization is currently working with a client to migrate data between a legacy ERP system and a cloud-based ERP tool using a global PaaS provider. As part of the engagement, the organization is performing data deduplication and sanitization of client data to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for the need to sanitize the client data?

Answer options

• A. Data aggregation
• B. Data sovereignty
• C. Data isolation
• D. Data volume
• E. Data analytics

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The primary reason for sanitizing client data is to ensure data sovereignty, which involves complying with regulations that govern where data can be stored and how it can be processed. The other options, such as data aggregation and data analytics, do not directly address the regulatory compliance aspect that sanitization aims to achieve.
