Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 92

Which of the following is the BEST way to hide sensitive personal data that is in use in a data lake?

Answer options

• A. Data masking
• B. Data truncation
• C. Data encryption
• D. Data minimization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Data masking is the best option because it allows for the use of data in a non-sensitive format, protecting the original sensitive information while still enabling necessary operations. Data truncation reduces the amount of data but does not specifically protect sensitive information. Data encryption secures data but may not be suitable for data in active use, and data minimization focuses on reducing data collection rather than protecting it.
