Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 61

When using anonymization techniques to prevent unauthorized access to personal data, which of the following is the MOST important consideration to ensure the data is adequately protected?

Answer options

• A. The key must be kept separate and distinct from the data it protects.
• B. The data must be protected by multi-factor authentication.
• C. The key must be a combination of alpha and numeric characters.
• D. The data must be stored in locations protected by data loss prevention (DLP) technology.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because storing data in locations that are protected by data loss prevention (DLP) technology provides an additional layer of security against data breaches. Options A, B, and C focus on key management and authentication methods, which, while important, do not directly relate to the primary goal of preventing unauthorized access through proper data storage practices.
