Data Deletion & Lifecycle
This secure deletion method renders encrypted data irrecoverable by destroying encryption keys.
What is crypto-shredding?
In Google Cloud SQL, this configuration ensures failover in case the primary database fails.
What is High Availability (HA)?
This Azure service provides low-cost storage for rarely accessed sensitive data.
What is Azure Archive Storage?
This Azure service applies classification labels and encryption to documents and emails.
What is Azure Information Protection (AIP)?
This ISO standard provides requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
What is ISO 27001?
Crypto-shredding is considered more efficient than this traditional deletion method.
What is overwriting or wiping physical media?
To verify Cloud SQL HA works properly, organizations should perform this regularly.
What are backup and failover tests?
Archive Storage is ideal for medical data such as MRI scans because of this property.
What is secure, long-term retention with flexible latency?
AIP integrates with this identity system to enforce access policies.
What is Azure Active Directory?
This companion ISO standard provides a reference set of security controls.
What is ISO 27002?
True or False: Crypto-shredding can apply to both on-prem and cloud environments.
What is True?
Resizing a GCP persistent disk for a MySQL DB primarily improves this performance factor.
What is IOPS/throughput?
True or False: Archive Storage is optimized for frequent access and real-time analytics.
What is False?
AIP can enforce policies such as “Do Not Forward” on this medium.
What are emails?
ISO 27001 requires organizations to continuously perform this process to maintain compliance.
What is risk assessment?
Crypto-shredding relies on the assumption that this aspect of cryptography cannot be reversed.
What is strong encryption (without the key)?
True or False: Resizing GCP persistent disks requires restarting the VM.
What is False (it can be done dynamically)?
Archive storage supports compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR by providing this.
What are encryption and secure access controls?
True or False: AIP only protects documents stored in Azure cloud.
What is False (it can protect data on-premises and across devices)?
True or False: ISO 27001/27002 apply only to European organizations.
What is False (they are international standards)?
Crypto-shredding is particularly valuable for meeting the “right to be forgotten” requirements in this regulation.
What is GDPR?
Persistent disk resizing can mitigate performance bottlenecks in databases caused by this.
What is disk I/O saturation?
Compared to hot or cool tiers, archive storage is significantly cheaper but trades off in this area.
What is retrieval latency (hours instead of milliseconds)?
AIP supports tracking and revoking document access even after sharing, providing this control.
What is persistent information rights management (IRM)?
ISO 27001 certification demonstrates an organization’s ability to protect this critical asset.
What is customer and stakeholder data?
