Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 49

Which of the following techniques mitigates design flaws in the application development process that may contribute to potential leakage of personal data?

Answer options

• A. User acceptance testing (UAT)
• B. Patch management
• C. Software hardening
• D. Web application firewall (WAF)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, Software hardening, involves enhancing the security of an application by reducing vulnerabilities that could lead to personal data leakage. User acceptance testing (UAT), patch management, and web application firewalls (WAF) serve different purposes, such as ensuring user satisfaction, managing updates, and filtering malicious traffic, but they do not directly address design flaws in the development process.
