- A
Use pre-signed URLs for all access
Why wrong: Pre-signed URLs control access but not storage location.
- B
Use IAM policies to restrict API calls to specific regions
IAM conditions can limit operations to allowed regions.
- C
Configure bucket policies to deny storage outside allowed regions
Policy conditions can enforce location constraints.
- D
Enable cross-region replication for disaster recovery
Why wrong: Cross-region replication would copy data to other regions, violating residency.
- E
Select cloud regions within the required geographic area
Choosing appropriate regions ensures data is stored locally.

CCSP Cloud Data Security Practice Question
This CCSP practice question tests your understanding of cloud data security. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
An organization is designing a data residency strategy for compliance with data sovereignty laws. They must ensure that customer data remains within specific geographic boundaries. Which three measures should they implement? (Choose three.)
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
✓
Use IAM policies to restrict API calls to specific regions
To enforce data residency, organizations should choose cloud regions in the required geography, configure bucket policies to restrict storage location, and use IAM policies to limit access from other regions. Cross-region replication would violate data residency.
Key principle: OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.

- ✗
Use pre-signed URLs for all access
Why it's wrong here

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: OSPF can fail even when IP connectivity looks correct
OSPF neighbour formation depends on matching areas, timers, network type, authentication and passive-interface behaviour. Do not choose an answer only because the devices can ping.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
OSPF questions usually test the details that control adjacency and route selection. Read the neighbour state, area, router ID and interface configuration before deciding what is wrong.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.
- Router ID selection can affect neighbour relationships and LSDB output.
- OSPF cost influences the preferred path.
- A route can appear in OSPF information but not become the installed route.
TExam Day Tips
- Check area mismatch first when OSPF adjacency fails.
- Review passive interfaces when a network is advertised but no neighbour forms.
- Use show ip ospf neighbor and show ip route clues carefully.
Key takeaway
OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A security analyst at a medium-sized enterprise encounters this scenario during an investigation or architecture review. The correct answer reflects best practice for the specific threat or control described. OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough. Security exam questions test whether you can match controls to threats in context — not just recall definitions.
