CIPS Exam L6M7 Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L6M7 exam
Question #: 8
Topic #: 1
[All L6M7 Questions]

Green Pants Ltd has a lot of sensitive data around their unique designs for pants. Daniela, one of the designers, has noticed there is a weakness in their IT system, which means that data may be accessible to people outside the company. She would like the company to invest in software that can hide or disguise the data so that if it is ever stolen, the designs of the pants are not readable to others. What software is Daniela requesting?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Encryption makes data unreadable by converting it into an encoded format using an algorithm. If the data is stolen, it remains unreadable without the decryption key. A common example is WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption. (P.188)

Yes, a firewall can help in blocking unauthorized access, but encryption is specifically designed to make the data unreadable even if it is stolen.

Encryption is the way to go, no doubt. But I wonder if they'll need to hire a professional to implement it properly. Wouldn't want any 'pant-related' disasters, am I right?

But wouldn't a firewall also help in protecting the data from external threats?

I'm not so sure. Encryption can be complicated to set up and manage. Maybe a firewall would be a simpler solution?
