CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 99

A sales director has requested a report for individual team members within the division be developed. The director would like the report to be shared with all team members, but individual team members should not be identifiable within the report. Which of the following access requirements would support the director’s needs?

Answer options

• A. Create an acceptable use policy for the sales data.
• B. Release the report as user-group-based access and include data masking.
• C. Get a data use agreement from the individual team members.
• D. Provide the report based on role and include data encryption.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because user-group-based access with data masking allows the report to be shared among team members while concealing individual identities. Option A does not directly address the need for anonymity in the report. Option C is unnecessary as the requirement is for the report to be shared broadly, and option D does not guarantee that individuals cannot be identified, as encryption does not mask the data.
