Explanation

When a company acquires offices in multiple countries, it becomes subject to the privacy and employment laws of each jurisdiction. For example, the EU's GDPR and various national labor laws impose strict limits on employee monitoring, often requiring consent, transparency, or prohibiting certain types of surveillance entirely. These legal and regulatory differences can directly prohibit or restrict the monitoring practices the acquiring company uses domestically. Option A (time to merge systems) is a technical operational concern, not a reason to change a security policy. Option C (insufficient staffing) is a resource problem. Option D (consolidating security policies) is a task that must occur but is not itself the cause of a policy change.
