Salesforce Certified Heroku Architecture Designer — Question 3

Universal Containers has a Heroku app that uses several third-party add-ons. They now need to enforce data privacy and be compliant with General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What should an Architect advise UC regarding data residency in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Heroku does not control where add-on providers store data.
• B. Heroku support can configure add-ons for specific data residency needs.
• C. Heroku guarantees the physical location of its control surface APIs.
• D. Data residency for add-ons is covered under Salesforce's GDPR compliance.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Heroku support can assist in configuring add-ons to meet specific data residency requirements, which is crucial for GDPR compliance. Option A is incorrect as it states that Heroku has no control, which does not address the support available. Option C is misleading since it only refers to APIs and not add-ons. Option D is incorrect because it implies that Salesforce's compliance covers add-ons, which may not address the specific needs of UC.
