CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 199

An IT manager is increasing the security capabilities of an organization after a data classification initiative determined that sensitive data could be exfiltrated from the environment. Which of the following solutions would mitigate the risk?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, DLP (Data Loss Prevention), as it specifically focuses on preventing sensitive data from being transferred out of the organization. A is XDR, which enhances detection and response but does not specifically deal with data exfiltration. B is SPF, which helps prevent email spoofing, and D is DMARC, which protects against email phishing; neither addresses the issue of sensitive data leakage directly.
