Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 86

Which of the following BEST prevents users from sending out customers’ personal data without encryption?

Answer options

• A. Data loss prevention (DLP) tools
• B. De-identification of data
• C. Automatic email blocking
• D. User behavior monitoring

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as de-identification of data removes personally identifiable information, thereby preventing the risk of exposure during transmission. The other options, while useful, do not directly prevent the sending of encrypted data; DLP tools (A) help monitor and protect data but do not eliminate the data itself, automatic email blocking (C) may restrict communication but doesn't address encryption, and user behavior monitoring (D) tracks actions rather than preventing data leaks.
