Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 169

Which of the following is the BEST way to mitigate privacy risk associated with application programming interfaces (APIs)?

Answer options

• A. Active monitoring of API schema changes
• B. Use only APIs that are developed internally by the organization
• C. Document dependency usage of all APIs.
• D. Ensure APIs are included in the scope of the vulnerability management program

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because including APIs in the vulnerability management program ensures they are regularly assessed for security flaws, thus mitigating privacy risks. Options A, B, and C are helpful practices but do not directly address the overarching security and privacy concerns like option D does.
