Adding capacity for quick recovery sounds smart, but I wonder if option D is too reactive. We might need a mix of strategies.

I think requiring suppliers to hold safety stock, like in option C, could be a good strategy, but it might not be enough on its own.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like maintaining safety stock could help too. Option B might be a good backup plan.

I remember we discussed the importance of having multiple suppliers to mitigate risks, so I think option A makes sense.

Okay, let's see. The scenario covers a lot of ground - Ace Space's operations, their data practices, and the new privacy officer's concerns. I think I need to really focus on identifying the key factors that would establish the company's privacy baseline.

Certificate authorities are an interesting approach, but I'm not sure if that's the most efficient way to handle this scenario. I'll need to consider the pros and cons of each option.
