Episode 52 — Business Architecture Tradeoffs: Data Sovereignty, Classification, Cost, and Ownership (3.1)
This episode covers business architecture tradeoffs that influence secure design beyond purely technical preferences. Students should understand how data sovereignty affects where data may be stored, processed, or transferred, especially when laws or contracts require data to remain in certain jurisdictions. Classification drives handling, encryption, access, retention, and monitoring decisions. Cost and ownership determine who funds, operates, maintains, and accepts risk for a system or service. Environmental requirements, scalability, and risk appetite also shape architecture. For exam scenarios, the strongest technical option may not be acceptable if it violates compliance, budget, ownership, or business constraints.
