What is a secure practice for backing up sensitive data?

Sharing backup access with all employees

Encrypting backup data and storing it securely

Storing backups in the same location as the primary data

Keeping backups unencrypted for easy access

A software company needs to provide a realistic dataset to external developers for testing a new mobile app. The dataset contains customer names, email addresses, and purchase history. The company wants to minimize privacy risks while still allowing developers to build and test features that depend on the data's structure and format. Which technique should the company use?

Encrypt the entire dataset with a strong encryption key and share the key with the external developers.

Tokenize the customer names and email addresses, replacing them with random tokens that maintain the same format.

Anonymize the data by aggregating purchase history into broad categories and removing all personal details.

Remove all customer names and email addresses, leaving only purchase history without any identifiers.

What is a secure method for deleting sensitive data from storage media?

Overwriting the data multiple times

Moving the data to a different folder

A company stores customer data in a database that is backed up nightly to an offsite location. The backups are stored on tape and kept for seven years. The company wants to ensure that the backup data is protected from unauthorized access. What should they do?

Keep the backups in the same location as the primary database.

Use a backup software that compresses the data.

Encrypt the backups and store the encryption keys in a separate, secure location.

Store the backups in a locked cabinet.

In the context of data privacy, what does the principle of 'integrity' primarily ensure?

Data is available when needed by authorized users

Data is not altered or corrupted by unauthorized parties

Data is accessible only to authorized users

Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit
