Localize the system so the restricted feature is disabled: Which control best fits this situation?
Localization disables the noncompliant feature only in the affected region while keeping it available where lawful.
The question
A global HR platform offers an AI feature that is permitted in some countries but prohibited by a new regulation in one region where the company operates. Leadership wants to stay compliant while preserving the feature for users elsewhere. Which control best fits this situation?

- Fully deactivate the AI feature worldwide so that no jurisdiction anywhere can ever be exposed to a potential compliance violation of any kind.Plausible as a cautious response, but a global shutdown needlessly removes lawful functionality when a regional restriction suffices.
- Continue offering the feature identically everywhere and rely on updated terms of service to shift compliance responsibility to users.Plausible as a legal shortcut, but terms of service cannot override a regional prohibition, leaving the company noncompliant.
- Localize the system so the restricted feature is disabled only in the affected region while continuing to operate where it remains lawful. ✓Correct because localization geographically restricts the noncompliant feature while preserving lawful use elsewhere, matching the objective's deactivate-or-localize control.
- Relocate the company's headquarters to a different jurisdiction where the feature is lawful so the new regulation no longer applies.Plausible-sounding, but moving headquarters does not exempt operations in the region where the regulation applies to affected users.
The trap
Assuming a regional compliance problem requires shutting the system down everywhere. How to remember it
Localization disables the noncompliant feature only in the affected region while keeping it available where lawful.
