Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 31 discussion

The question should be more specific about the type(s) of "protected information" they are talking about. For some "protected data" SOC2 compliance is adequate.

The correct answer is C. Enterprise The Enterprise edition is the minimum Snowflake edition that customers should consider when planning to store protected information requiring regulatory compliance. This is because the Enterprise edition includes essential security and compliance features such as: 1. Enhanced security features 2. Advanced data protection capabilities 3. Compliance-related functionalities 4. More robust governance controls The Standard (A) and Premier (B) editions don't provide sufficient compliance and security features for protected information, while Business Critical Edition (D) offers even more advanced features but isn't the minimum required edition for regulatory compliance - Enterprise is.

I think, it's Enterprise, so C. Business Critical Edition (D) is definitely better choice and recommended, but the question is about "minimum".

D is Corect Answer

D IS CORRECT

C. Enterprise Edition. The Enterprise Edition of Snowflake offers advanced security features and capabilities that are designed to meet the stringent requirements of regulatory compliance. It includes features such as role-based access control (RBAC), encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, fine-grained access controls, and data masking. These features help ensure the security and compliance of sensitive and protected data stored in Snowflake. While other editions of Snowflake, such as Standard and Premier, also provide security features, the Enterprise Edition is specifically tailored for organizations with higher compliance and security requirements. It offers additional features and capabilities that address the needs of regulated industries and data protection standards. Therefore, customers planning on storing protected information in Snowflake for regulatory compliance should consider the Enterprise Edition as a suitable option.
