CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 294

A project manager is assigned an initiative in a highly regulated industry that requires employees to safeguard certain pieces of PII. Which of the following is the best approach for the project manager to keep the information confidential?

Answer options

• A. Encryption
• B. Multifactor authentication
• C. Quality assurance
• D. Password protection

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Encryption is the best choice because it converts sensitive data into a secure format that is unreadable without the correct decryption key, thereby protecting PII from unauthorized access. While multifactor authentication, quality assurance, and password protection are important security measures, they do not provide the same level of data confidentiality as encryption does.
