Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 96

Which of the following statements is true in regards to Data Loss Prevention (DLP)?

Answer options

• A. DLP can provide options for quickly deleting all of the data stored in a cloud environment.
• B. DLP can classify all data in a storage repository.
• C. DLP never provides options for how data found in violation of a policy can be handled.
• D. DLP can provide options for where data is stored.
• E. DLP can provide options for how data found in violation of a policy can be handled.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because DLP systems are designed to provide options for addressing data that is in violation of established policies, allowing organizations to respond appropriately. Option A is incorrect as DLP focuses on data protection rather than deletion. Option B is misleading because DLP may not classify all data types, and option C is false since DLP does offer management options for policy violations.
