PK0-005 Practice Question: Basics of IT Infrastructure and IT Project Management
A project manager needs to ensure that the IT infrastructure project complies with industry standards for data security. Which document should the project team reference?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Regulatory compliance checklist
(Regulatory compliance checklist) is correct because it provides a list of required standards and regulations that the project must comply with for data security. Option A (Service level agreement) defines service levels and performance metrics, not security compliance. Option C (Memorandum of understanding) is an agreement between organizations outlining terms and responsibilities, not a compliance document. Option D (Acceptable use policy) governs user behavior and acceptable use of systems, not project infrastructure compliance.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Service level agreement
Why it's wrong here
A service level agreement defines measurable service commitments between a provider and customer, such as uptime and response times, so it cannot supply the industry data-security standards the team must follow. It would be correct when the project needs to document agreed performance targets and remedies for a specific vendor relationship.
- ✓
Regulatory compliance checklist
Why this is correct
A regulatory compliance checklist enumerates the specific data-security standards, controls and evidence the project must satisfy, giving the team an auditable reference. It directly addresses the compliance constraint by mapping required safeguards to deliverables rather than relying on general security guidance.
- ✗
Memorandum of understanding
Why it's wrong here
A memorandum of understanding records intent between parties, such as an outsourcing or shared-services arrangement, and carries no security control requirements. It cannot supply the industry data-security standards the project must comply with; that content lives in a formal standard or regulatory framework the team references directly.
- ✗
Acceptable use policy
Why it's wrong here
An acceptable use policy governs how internal users may employ organisational assets, not which external industry data-security standards an infrastructure project must satisfy. It would be the right reference when onboarding staff or defining user behaviour, but it does not enumerate compliance controls for project design.
