CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 543

In order to authenticate employees who, call in remotely, a company's help desk staff must be able to view partial information about employees because the full information may be considered sensitive. Which of the following solutions should be implemented to authenticate employees?

Answer options

• A. Data scrubbing
• B. Field masking
• C. Encryption in transit
• D. Metadata

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Field masking is the correct choice because it allows the help desk to see only certain parts of an employee's information, protecting sensitive data. Data scrubbing is more about cleaning data rather than controlling visibility, while encryption in transit secures data during transmission but does not address visibility. Metadata does not provide the necessary authentication method for employees.
