Question

A newly established CSP allows for drive shipping to upload new data into the environment. Sensitive data on 40TB of storage needs to be transferred within one week. Which of the following is the MOST efficient and secure method for shipment of the data to the CSP with minimal downtime?

Options

  • ACreate a VPN between the sites and schedule data transfer during non-business hours.
  • BCopy the data to encrypted drives and use the CSP-certified shipping provider.
  • CCompress and SFTP the data to the CSP.
  • DMove the data to encrypted drives and use the CSP-certified shipping provider.

Why each option

Physical drive shipping is the most efficient and secure method for transferring 40TB to a CSP within one week, as network-based transfers cannot handle that volume in the given timeframe.

ACreate a VPN between the sites and schedule data transfer during non-business hours.

A VPN lacks the throughput required to transfer 40TB within one week, making this approach impractical for the given volume and timeline.

BCopy the data to encrypted drives and use the CSP-certified shipping provider.

Copying the data leaves the original sensitive data on the source drives, creating dual-residency of sensitive data and a larger attack surface compared to moving it.

CCompress and SFTP the data to the CSP.

SFTP over a standard internet connection cannot transfer 40TB within one week due to bandwidth and latency constraints.

DMove the data to encrypted drives and use the CSP-certified shipping provider.Correct

Moving data to encrypted drives removes it from the source after transfer, ensuring sensitive data does not persist in two locations simultaneously, which reduces exposure risk. Using a CSP-certified shipping provider guarantees a documented chain of custody and aligns with the CSP's compliance requirements. This offline transfer method bypasses network bandwidth constraints entirely, making 40TB feasible within one week.
