BData truncation

CData encryption

DData minimization

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The principle of least privilege is the most important principle to apply when granting access to an ERP system that contains a significant amount of personal dat

a. The principle of least privilege states that users should only have the minimum level of access and permissions necessary to perform their legitimate tasks and functions, and no more. Applying the principle of least privilege helps to protect the privacy and security of the personal data in the ERP system, as it reduces the risk of unauthorized or inappropriate access, disclosure, modification, or deletion of the data. It also helps to comply with the privacy laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, that require data controllers and processors to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

Data truncation seems like it could work, but I don't think it fully addresses the need to protect sensitive data while still allowing access.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like data minimization could be relevant, but it doesn't directly hide data that's in use.

Data minimization is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it's the "best" option for this scenario. I'll have to review the differences between these approaches.

I'm not sure about data truncation - that might remove too much information. Encryption could work, but it could also make the data harder to use.

Data truncation, huh? That's one way to make the data less meaningful, I guess. Not very practical though.

Why not just delete the sensitive data altogether? That's the ultimate way to keep it safe. (Just kidding, I know that's not a realistic option.)
