CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 538

A company is looking at sending historical backups containing customer PII to a cloud service provider to save on storage costs. Which of the following is the MOST important consideration before making this decision?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Data sovereignty is the primary concern because it pertains to the laws and regulations governing data storage and protection in different jurisdictions, especially when it involves personally identifiable information (PII). While availability, geography, and vendor lock-in are important, they do not specifically address the legal implications of storing sensitive data across borders, which can lead to compliance issues.
