ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your development team is drafting requirements for a new analytics microservice that will replicate EU customer profiles to a cloud region in Singapore. Which requirement best addresses cross-border privacy obligations that apply to this data movement?
Conclude Standard Contractual Clauses with the cloud host before exporting personal data.
Send replication traffic over a private dedicated inter-region link controlled by the CSP.
Store the replica as compressed, read-only snapshots retained for five years.
Encrypt replicated tables with AES-256 and manage keys in a hardware security module.
Under GDPR, exporting personal data outside the European Economic Area is lawful only when an adequate transfer mechanism is in place. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are one of the primary mechanisms allowed by Article 46 and must be executed with the recipient before any transfer occurs. While encryption, private links, and snapshot retention improve security or operational efficiency, none of them on their own satisfy the legal requirement for an appropriate international-transfer safeguard. Therefore, concluding SCCs with the cloud provider is the most appropriate privacy requirement.
