ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your organization, headquartered in Germany, plans to migrate its email archives-containing EU residents' personal data-to a U.S.-based SaaS provider that routinely replicates all customer data to backup facilities in Singapore. During the legal risk assessment prior to contract signature, which potential issue represents the greatest legal risk that must be mitigated to remain compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
The provider's disaster-recovery RTO being four hours instead of the organization's two-hour objective
Replication of personal data to data centers in a non-EU country without confirmed adequate protection or appropriate safeguards
Reliance on proprietary APIs that could increase the risk of vendor lock-in
Absence of native IPv6 support across the provider's infrastructure
GDPR places strict limitations on transferring personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Any onward transfer to a country lacking an EU adequacy decision, such as Singapore, requires appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) and, in some cases, additional transfer impact assessments. Failure to ensure lawful cross-border transfers can expose the data controller to significant administrative fines and legal action. While an RTO mismatch, proprietary APIs causing vendor lock-in, or lack of IPv6 support may affect service quality or future flexibility, they do not carry the same level of statutory penalty and regulatory scrutiny as non-compliant international data transfers.
