Exam SY0-701 topic 1 question 53 discussion

A. Local data protection regulations Laws may prohibit where data is stored – GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – Data collected on EU citizens must be stored in the EU

When a U.S.-based cloud-hosting provider is considering expanding its data centers to new international locations, the first thing they should consider is local data protection regulations. These regulations govern how personal or sensitive data is collected, stored, processed, and transferred across borders. Different countries have different regulations, such as the GDPR in the EU or PIPEDA in Canada. Compliance with these regulations is crucial to avoid legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage​

Expanding not relocating so existing contracts are not affected

From reading the discussion, I think in a hierarchy, the Local Data Protection Regulations would be on top. It would then determine how the contract is written to adhere to legal restrictions. That's my reasoning from working with legal departments.

Existing contracts cannot be impacted by adding a new DC... customers dont have to use it

Your existing contractual obligations on how your client's data is stored should be considered first.

Local data protection regulations in those locations that the provider wants to expand services to.

What is GPT? -

C because its the existing Contract obligations that need to be reviewed to see if there is any agreement for data sovereignty you need to adhere too. Local Data Protection regulations are something to consider but are irrelevant if you don't have contract obligations to adhere to them (example you have contracts that mention storing HIPPA or financial data)
