AI-102 Plan and manage an Azure AI solution Practice Question
You need to design an Azure AI solution that processes sensitive customer data. The solution must comply with GDPR and data residency requirements. Which TWO actions should you take?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse security controls (CMK, private endpoints, Entra ID) with data residency and compliance requirements, assuming any security measure satisfies GDPR, when in fact GDPR specifically mandates geographic data localization and retention policies.
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
✓
Deploy the AI resource in the region where the data originates
Deploying the AI resource in the region where the data originates ensures compliance with GDPR data residency requirements, which mandate that personal data must not leave the geographic region of the data subject. This directly addresses the principle of data localization, a core GDPR obligation for controllers and processors.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable customer-managed keys (CMK) for the AI resource
Why it's wrong here
CMK is an additional security measure but not specifically required by GDPR.
- ✗
Use Microsoft Entra ID for authentication
Why it's wrong here
Authentication method is not specific to GDPR compliance.
- ✗
Use a private endpoint to connect to the AI resource
Why it's wrong here
Private endpoint secures traffic but does not guarantee data residency.

Deploy the AI resource in the region where the data originates
Why this is correct
