As a digital officer for the European External Action Service (EEAS), you are tasked with designing a secure data-sharing protocol for a new cross-border crisis response initiative involving non-EU partners. The initiative requires the transmission of sensitive diplomatic communications and personal data of third-country nationals. According to the core mission of the EEAS and established EU digital governance principles, which approach best ensures the security of data while fulfilling the EEAS's mandate to coordinate international action? A. Relying solely on the encryption capabilities of commercial cloud providers without a specific EU legal framework, as this is the most efficient method for real-time crisis response. B. Implementing a data minimization strategy where only the absolute minimum necessary data is processed and shared, ensuring that all transfers comply with EU data protection standards and the EEAS's mandate for coherent international coordination. C. Storing all collected data in a centralized, non-EU cloud server located in a third country to facilitate faster access for international partners, provided the data is encrypted in transit. D. Using a peer-to-peer file sharing network for all diplomatic communications to ensure decentralization and resilience against single points of failure, as this aligns with the EEAS's goal of promoting a rules-based global order. E. Transferring all raw data to third-country partners immediately upon collection to ensure transparency, relying on the partners' domestic laws to handle any necessary redactions or protections.
