I'm pretty confident this is a private cloud question. The minimum common set of controls would be the most important in a private deployment, where the organization is responsible for more of the infrastructure and security.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about upcoding. Isn't that when the charges are higher than necessary?

I've got this! The two bi-directional port options on a VSP G800 are the Replication-Target (RCU) and the Open Target (TAR). I'm confident in those choices.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem similar, and I'm not entirely clear on what "continual improvement" means in this context. I'll have to think it through carefully.
