Your company is expanding its operations to a new region with strict data protection laws that differ significantly from those where your headquarters is located. What is the most important first step your security governance team should take to ensure compliance with the new region's legal requirements?
Apply the same security policies from the headquarters to the new region's operations without modification.
Mandate that all employees complete a new security awareness training immediately.
Implement an advanced encryption protocol to secure all data in transit and at rest within the new region.
Review and align the security policies with the local/regional legal requirements.
The correct answer is 'Review and align the security policies with the local/regional legal requirements.' When entering a new region, an organization must ensure that its security policies comply with local laws to avoid legal consequences and protect the company's reputation. Conducting a thorough review of the new region's legal requirements and aligning the organization's security policies accordingly is the most prudent initial step.
