CompTIA SY0-701 Exam - Topic 5 Question 49 Discussion
Topic #: 5
A company receives an alert that a network device vendor, which is widely used in the enterprise, has been banned by the government.
Which option best will the company's general counsel most likely be concerned with during a hardware refresh of these devices?
When the government bans a vendor, the primary concern for the company's general counsel is sanctions, which are legal restrictions that prohibit the purchase, use, import, or continued operation of products associated with restricted entities. Security+ SY0-701 stresses that compliance with government regulations and legal mandates is a critical oversight responsibility. Failure to comply may result in severe penalties, including fines, loss of contracting eligibility, and reputational damage.
During a hardware refresh, general counsel will ensure the organization is not violating federal trade sanctions, procurement laws, or export/import restrictions. Even if devices are already purchased, continued use may still violate the sanctions, creating legal liability.
Data sovereignty (B) relates to storage location requirements, not vendor bans. Cost of replacement (C) is an operational and financial concern, not a legal one. Loss of license (D) typically applies to software but is not the primary legal concern tied to a government-issued vendor ban.
Therefore, sanctions are the general counsel's primary focus.
