   A multinational company stores customer data across AWS S3, Azure SQL Database, and an on-premises file server. The data protection officer needs to know where sensitive personal data resides, how it is classified, and whether access is appropriately restricted. The company wants a single solution that discovers, classifies, and monitors access to this data across all locations. What should they implement?

   • AA vulnerability scanner that identifies missing patches on the file server and database hosts
   • BA DSPM platform that scans data stores, applies classification labels, and monitors access patterns
   • CAn IAM solution that enforces multi-factor authentication for all users
   • DA CSPM tool that checks for misconfigured security groups and storage bucket policies

   A healthcare organization uses AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud for different workloads. The compliance team manually checks each cloud console monthly against HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 controls, but frequently misses misconfigurations between audits. The security team wants a single tool that continuously evaluates all three clouds against these frameworks and provides automated remediation workflows. What should they implement?

   • AA CSPM platform that maps cloud resources to compliance frameworks and triggers automated remediation for detected misconfigurations
   • BA Kubernetes security posture tool that validates pod security policies in each cloud's managed Kubernetes service
   • CA vulnerability scanner that runs monthly on each cloud's virtual machines and generates a consolidated PDF report
   • DA cloud-native IAM policy editor that enforces least privilege across all three cloud providers

   A company must comply with SOC 2, GDPR, and NIST CSF across its AWS and Azure environments. Currently, each cloud has its own compliance monitoring, and the security team manually correlates findings. They want a single dashboard that shows compliance status across all frameworks and clouds, with evidence collection and reporting. What should they implement?

   • AA unified compliance management platform that aggregates findings from multiple clouds and maps them to all required frameworks
   • BA DSPM solution that focuses on data classification and access controls
   • CA separate compliance tool for each cloud provider that generates individual reports
   • DA vulnerability management platform that patches all cloud resources
