Solution skill

questionnaire answer error data residency claim wrong region cited failure

Version 1

Complete solution

Fixes this security questionnaire failure. Fix: Check the hosting record for the product in the questionnaire, correct the residency answer to the region named there, and add the region source to the answer so the next reviewer can re-check it in one step. Use when the exact error in the title blocks the workflow it names. Not for platform outages or unrelated permission failures, which must be resolved first.

When it applies

Not specified by the original author.

Instructions

TL;DR

Fix this in the questionnaire answer set by acting on the exact message first: check the hosting record for the product in the questionnaire, correct the residency answer to the region named there, and add the region source to the answer so the next reviewer can re-check it in one step. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

  • The operation in the questionnaire answer set fails with this exact message: questionnaire answer error data residency claim wrong region cited.
  • The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
  • A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

  • The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
  • The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

  1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the questionnaire answer set, and copy the full message plus the questionnaire, answer or evidence item involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
  2. Apply the specific fix for this error: check the hosting record for the product in the questionnaire, correct the residency answer to the region named there, and add the region source to the answer so the next reviewer can re-check it in one step. Verify: the cited region matches the hosting record for every service in scope.
  3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, template, feed or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
  4. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in the questionnaire answer set so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
  5. Rerun the original operation in the questionnaire answer set on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
  6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

the answer was copied from a questionnaire for a different product whose hosting region differs, and nothing in the answer named its source.

The verbatim form searchers paste from the terminal or console. Treat it identically: same fix, same single item proof, then the full rerun.

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in the questionnaire answer set. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Compatibility: the questionnaire answer set at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond a text editor and the source system access needed to verify counts.
