CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 51

Before conducting a cloud migration, a compliance team requires confirmation that sensitive data will remain close to their users. Which of the following will meet this requirement during the cloud design phase?

Answer options

• A. Data locality
• B. Data classification
• C. Data certification
• D. Data validation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Data classification is essential for identifying and categorizing sensitive information, ensuring it is managed appropriately and remains accessible to users. Data locality refers to where data is stored geographically, but it does not ensure appropriate handling of sensitive data. Data certification and data validation focus on verifying processes and data accuracy, which do not directly address the requirement of keeping sensitive data close to users.
