A large financial institution is preparing to revise its security protocols to enhance the protection of client data. The institution has multiple international offices and must comply with various regional encryption standards. Which of the following should be the primary consideration when updating the company-wide encryption standard?
Follow only the regional encryption standards of the country where the financial institution's headquarters is located.
Implement the least strict regional encryption standard to minimize complications in international operations.
Develop a new encryption standard internally that is different from all regional standards but meets the minimum required security level.
Adopt the strictest regional encryption standard as the company-wide standard to ensure compliance across all locations.
The correct answer is the one that aligns with the goal of adhering to the highest regulatory requirements across regions. This ensures that the financial institution complies with all regional regulations while maintaining a uniform standard of security. Implementing the strictest regulatory standard as the company-wide standard is a common approach to simplifying compliance and ensuring the highest security posture is maintained throughout the organization, regardless of location. Options involving conflicting national and local standards, as well as those suggesting the development of new internal standards or solely following the least strict, do not address the overarching need to meet all regional compliance requirements efficiently.
