A non-profit organization is planning to deploy a new application that requires high security and compliance with regulatory standards such as GDPR and HIPAA. The application needs to be managed by the cloud provider to reduce operational overhead and should be scalable to accommodate future growth. Additionally, the organization prefers a solution that minimizes upfront costs and simplifies compliance management. Considering these requirements, which cloud service type would be the BEST choice? (Choose one correct option.)
A
Software as a Service (SaaS) - Offers ready-to-use software applications managed by the cloud provider, but may not provide the level of customization or control needed for specific regulatory compliance.
B
Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Provides a managed environment for developing, testing, and deploying applications with built-in compliance and security features, reducing the need for infrastructure management.
C
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Offers virtualized computing resources over the internet, giving more control over the infrastructure but requires the organization to manage more aspects of security and compliance.
D
None of the above - The organization should consider on-premises solutions for better control over security and compliance.
