AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
A developer is tasked with ensuring an application that stores personally identifiable information (PII) complies with various international data protection regulations. While implementing encryption for all PII at rest and in transit is a critical security measure, why is this action alone insufficient to guarantee full compliance globally?
Because regulations require data to be stored only in plaintext format for auditing purposes.
Because encryption keys managed by the customer are not compliant with any data protection standard.
Because modern encryption algorithms are not recognized by most international data protection laws.
Because regulations often include additional requirements such as data sovereignty, retention policies, and data subject rights.
Encrypting personally identifiable information (PII) is a fundamental best practice and a technical measure mentioned by many data protection regulations like GDPR. However, it does not single-handedly ensure compliance. Global regulations have a wide range of other requirements, such as establishing a lawful basis for processing data, adhering to data retention and minimization principles, respecting data subject rights (e.g., the right to access or be forgotten), and complying with data sovereignty rules that may dictate the physical location where data is stored. Therefore, compliance requires a holistic approach that includes legal, organizational, and multiple technical controls, not just encryption.
