Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question
A healthcare company is looking to migrate their patient data to the cloud. They have strong regulatory requirements to protect health information. Which benefit of cloud security and governance would be most compelling to this company?
Enhanced physical security of data centers versus on-premises locations.
Encryption of data at rest and in transit by default.
Cost savings from reduced IT overhead.
Adherence to regulatory compliance standards such as HIPAA.
The correct answer is the benefit of adherence to regulatory compliance. Cloud providers often offer compliance with various industry standards and regulations, such as HIPAA for healthcare data, which is a critical requirement for organizations handling sensitive data. By choosing a cloud provider that adheres to these standards, the healthcare company can ensure that their patient data is protected according to necessary regulations. While encryption is indeed a security measure provided by many clouds, it is a feature rather than a benefit. Enhanced physical security, although important, is not directly related to the regulatory requirements for patient data, and cost savings, while a potential benefit of cloud services, is not primarily related to security and governance.
