A company stores sensitive customer data in a SQL database. The database administrator wants to encrypt the data so that even if the database files are stolen, the data remains unreadable. Which encryption technique is most appropriate?

Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) at the database level

Full-disk encryption on the database server

File-level encryption on the database folder

Application-level encryption of individual columns

What is the core principle of 'Privacy by Design'?

Privacy is the responsibility of the end user, not the system designer.

Privacy is achieved solely by encrypting all data.

Privacy is considered as an afterthought once a system is deployed.

Privacy is built into the system design and development process from the start.
