CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 464

A company's legal department drafted sensitive documents in a SaaS application and wants to ensure the documents cannot be accessed by individuals in high-risk countries. Which of the following is the most effective way to limit this access?

Answer options

• A. Data masking
• B. Encryption
• C. Geolocation policy
• D. Data sovereignty regulation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most effective way to restrict access based on geographic location is by implementing a Geolocation policy, which can block users from specific countries. Data masking and encryption do not prevent access based on location, while data sovereignty regulations address compliance but do not inherently block access from high-risk countries.
