A.

C.
To determine the likelihood of a security breach in the location.
D.
To ensure the country has adequate protection or if safeguards are required.
The answer is D. To ensure the country has adequate protection or if safeguards are required.
Under GDPR, it's crucial to ensure that personal data is transferred and stored in locations that provide adequate levels of protection for personal data. GDPR imposes restrictions on the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), or the data must be safeguarded adequately if it is transferred to countries that do not have data protection laws that are deemed adequate by European standards. Knowing the physical location of data storage helps in understanding whether additional safeguards or mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules, need to be put in place to ensure compliance with GDPR.
It is allowed to transfer personal data to countries which are determined adequate under GDPR
