CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 25

A newly established CSP allows for drive shipping to upload new data into the environment. Sensitive data on 40TB of storage needs to be transferred within one week. Which of the following is the MOST efficient and secure method for shipment of the data to the CSP with minimal downtime?

Answer options

• A. Create a VPN between the sites and schedule data transfer during non-business hours.
• B. Copy the data to encrypted drives and use the CSP-certified shipping provider.
• C. Compress and SFTP the data to the CSP.
• D. Move the data to encrypted drives and use the CSP-certified shipping provider.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it involves using encrypted drives, which ensures that the sensitive data remains secure during transit, and shipping through a CSP-certified provider adds an extra layer of reliability. Options A and C do not provide the same level of security as physical drive shipping and could result in extended downtime. Option B is similar to D but lacks the clarity of specifying that drives should be used for shipment.
