From the perspective of compliance, what is the most important consideration when it comes to data center location?
Answer options:
A. Natural disasters
B. Utility access
C. Jurisdiction
D. Personnel access
Answer correct:
C
Jurisdiction will dictate much of the compliance and audit requirements for a data center. Although all the aspects listed are very important to security, from a strict compliance perspective, jurisdiction is the most important. Personnel access, natural disasters, and utility access are all important operational considerations for selecting a data center location, but they are not related to compliance issues like jurisdiction is.
