Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 406

What type of masking would you employ to produce a separate data set for testing purposes based on production data without any sensitive information?

Answer options

• A. Dynamic
• B. Tokenized
• C. Replicated
• D. Static

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Static data masking involves creating a copy of production data where sensitive information is replaced or obscured, making it suitable for testing. Dynamic masking, tokenization, and replication do not specifically create a separate dataset free of sensitive information for testing purposes, thus they are not the best choices in this context.
