ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A U.S.-based multinational uses a SaaS human-resources platform that stores backups in data centers located in Ireland and mainland China. The company receives a domestic subpoena from a U.S. regulator demanding the complete employee database for an investigation. The security team is concerned that a direct hand-over could breach both the EU GDPR and China's data-localization rules. Which action best addresses the conflict of laws before any disclosure is made?

  • First migrate the backups to a U.S. cloud region and then provide the data from there.

  • Ask the regulator to pursue the information through the applicable Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty channels in each country before any release.

  • Comply immediately, because the U.S. subpoena has extraterritorial reach under the CLOUD Act.

  • Strip all identifying fields from the records and send the remaining dataset so privacy laws no longer apply.
