Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Geographic isolation
Why it's wrong here
Geographic isolation is not typically used for multi-tenant SaaS.
- ✓
Network isolation (e.g., VLANs, VPCs)
Why this is correct
Prevents network-level cross-tenant access.
- ✗
Shared storage volume encryption
Why it's wrong here
Encryption alone does not prevent data leakage if not combined with proper access controls.
- ✓
Logical data isolation (e.g., database per tenant)
Why this is correct
Ensures data separation at the application level.
- ✗
Hypervisor isolation
Why it's wrong here
Hypervisor isolation is for IaaS, not necessarily SaaS.
