Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 204

Which of the following is the BEST way to protect the privacy of data stored on a laptop in case of loss or theft?

Answer options

• A. Strong authentication controls
• B. Remote wipe
• C. Regular backups
• D. Endpoint encryption

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Endpoint encryption is the best choice because it ensures that the data is unreadable without the proper decryption key, protecting it from unauthorized access. Strong authentication controls, remote wipe, and regular backups are important security measures, but they do not directly prevent data from being accessed by someone who finds or steals the laptop.
