Certified Cloud Security Professional – CCSP – Question213

From the perspective of compliance, what is the most important consideration when it comes to data center location?

A.
Natural disasters
B. Utility access
C. Jurisdiction
D. Personnel access

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation: Jurisdiction will dictate much of the compliance and audit requirements for a data center. Although all the aspects listed are very important to security, from a strict compliance perspective, jurisdiction is the most important. Personnel access, natural disasters, and utility access are all important operational considerations for selecting a data center location, but they are not related to compliance issues like jurisdiction is.
