CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 221

A database administrator is required to adhere to and implement privacy principles when executing daily tasks. A manager directs the administrator to reduce the number of unique instances of PII stored within an organization's systems to the greatest extent possible.
Which of the following principles is being demonstrated?

Answer options

• A. Administrator accountability
• B. PII security
• C. Record transparency
• D. Data minimization

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The principle of Data minimization is being demonstrated because it focuses on limiting the amount of PII collected and retained to the minimum necessary for the intended purpose. While Administrator accountability, PII security, and Record transparency are important principles, they do not directly address the reduction of unique PII instances as specified in the scenario.
