CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 285

Answer options

• A. Moving to a cloud-based environment
• B. Migrating to locally hosted virtual servers
• C. Implementing non-repudiation controls
• D. Encrypting local database queries

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as moving to a cloud-based environment often involves storing data in various jurisdictions, which can lead to data sovereignty challenges. Options B, C, and D are less impacted by data sovereignty since they involve either local hosting or controls that do not directly depend on where data is physically stored.
