A company is required to archive confidential transaction records. Although these records won't be accessed regularly, they must be securely preserved for compliance with industry regulations. Which of the following archiving strategies would be MOST appropriate to meet these requirements?
You selected this option
Scheduling complete backups of transaction data on a bi-weekly basis
You selected this option
Implementing incremental backups of the transactions to accommodate new data and reduce storage demands
You selected this option
Deploying an immutable storage solution to prevent alteration of the data after it is stored
You selected this option
Compressing the transaction records to conserve storage space before archiving
The use of immutable storage systems is the most appropriate strategy for archiving sensitive data that should not be altered after being stored. It aligns with compliance mandates that stipulate the need for unchangeable records. In contrast, incremental backups only capture changes since the last backup, complete backups do not prevent data from being modified, and compression can save space but lacks the mechanism to prevent data alteration after archiving.
