Actual exam question for Isaca's CDPSE exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 2

Which of the following is the BEST control to prevent the exposure of personal information when redeploying laptops within an organization?

ASet a unique static IP for the default network interface.

BDisable all wireless networking in the group policy.

CReinstall the operating system and enable laptop encryption.

DPerform a full wipe and reimage of the laptops.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Performing a full wipe and reimage of the laptops is the best control to prevent the exposure of personal information when redeploying laptops within an organization. This is because a full wipe and reimage ensures that all data, including personal information, is securely erased from the laptops and replaced with a fresh installation of the operating system and applications. This reduces the risk of data leakage, unauthorized access, or data recovery by malicious actors or unauthorized users. The other options are not as effective or sufficient as a full wipe and reimage, as they do not guarantee the complete removal of personal information from the laptops.

Static IPs won't help with personal info exposure.

Wait, can you really just wipe and reimage? Sounds risky!

I’m a bit confused; I thought disabling wireless networking could prevent exposure too, but I guess it wouldn’t be as effective as wiping the data.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and wiping the laptops was emphasized as a key step. So, D seems right to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think reinstalling the OS and enabling encryption could help too. That’s option C, right?

I remember discussing the importance of data wiping before redeploying devices, so I think option D might be the best choice.

I'm a little confused by this question. Wouldn't disabling wireless networking in the group policy (option B) also help prevent data exposure? I'm not sure if that's as thorough as the full OS reinstall, but it seems like it could work. I'll have to double-check the details.

Option C is definitely the way to go here. Reinstalling the OS and enabling encryption is the best way to ensure all personal data is securely removed before redeploying the laptops. The other options don't seem as comprehensive.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I was thinking option D, a full wipe and reimage, might be the safest bet to prevent any data exposure. But C also seems like a good choice. I'll have to think it through a bit more.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I think the best option is to go with C - reinstall the OS and enable encryption. That way, you can be sure all the personal data is wiped and the laptop is secure for redeployment.

I'm leaning towards option C. Sending a Global Mouse Click to the Note Box element, waiting, and then using a Write Stage seems like the most straightforward approach to me.

I'd go with option C. Gotta love a good ol' OS reinstall to keep those gremlins out of the laptop.

Option A? Really? Setting a unique IP isn't going to stop someone from accessing the data. What is this, the 90s?
