Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 9

During the design of a role-based user access model for a new application, which of the following principles is MOST important to ensure data privacy is protected?

Answer options

• A. Segregation of duties
• B. Unique user credentials
• C. Two-person rule
• D. Need-to-know basis

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, Segregation of duties, is vital as it helps to prevent any single individual from having full control over sensitive data, thereby enhancing data privacy. Unique user credentials, the two-person rule, and the need-to-know basis are also important, but they do not provide the same level of protection against unauthorized access that segregation of duties does.
