EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 53

An organization wants to use a public cloud provider for IaaS instances. They will develop and deploy their own applications within these instances. The organization must follow health care compliance regulations.
What should the organization ensure before deploying their applications in the public cloud?

Answer options

• A. Instances will not be placed in more than one availability zone
• B. Auditors have access to the cloud provider's data encryption keys
• C. Cloud provider supplies data-in-transit encryption capabilities
• D. Cloud provider supplies proper controls and audits for compliance requirements

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because ensuring data-in-transit encryption is crucial for maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive health care information. Options A and B do not directly address compliance with health care regulations, while option D is important but primarily focuses on controls and audits rather than the encryption of data during transmission.
