The TCK Bank adopts cloud for storing the private data of its customers. The bank usually explains its information sharing practices to its customers and safeguards sensitive dat a. However, there exist some security loopholes in its information sharing practices. Therefore, hackers could steal the critical data of the bank's customers. In this situation, under which cloud compliance framework will the bank be penalized?
Answer options
A: GLBA Correct answer
B: ITAR
C: NIST
D: GDPR
Correct Answer:
A. GLBA
Explanation

GLBA specifically requires financial institutions like banks to explain information sharing practices and implement safeguards for customer data. The scenario directly mentions these two key GLBA requirements. When security loopholes lead to potential data breaches, GLBA provides for civil penalties and enforcement actions by federal banking regulators.

Why Incorrect

B. ITAR: Regulates military/defense exports, not banking customer data protection.
C. NIST: Provides standards and frameworks but lacks enforcement/penalty authority.
D. GDPR: While applicable to EU data, the scenario's language specifically mirrors GLBA requirements.
