Okay, I remember the Aviatrix service requires an AWS NAT Gateway, and it can integrate with DUO for MFA. I think those are the two best options here.

Hmm, the key here is the phrase "only if". I think the right answer has to specify the exact condition under which data subjects can correct inaccuracies.

I'm not sure about this. I thought HR was a primary activity, but I guess it's considered a support activity. Let me double-check the definitions.
