Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 111

Which of the following BEST ensures an organization’s data retention requirements will be met in the public cloud environment?

Answer options

• A. Service level agreements (SLAs)
• B. Cloud vendor agreements
• C. Data classification schemes
• D. Automated data deletion schedules

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Service level agreements (SLAs) are crucial as they define the terms and conditions for data management and retention between the organization and the cloud provider, ensuring compliance. While cloud vendor agreements and data classification schemes are important, they do not specifically address retention requirements as effectively as SLAs. Automated data deletion schedules, while useful for managing data lifecycle, do not guarantee adherence to retention policies.
