Question 800
During a scheduled security controls review at Aster Mutual, engineers say that they resolved this finding: An organization allows file uploads to sanctioned SaaS but has no inspection for sensitive document classification. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A protected test document triggers the expected DLP event and a non-sensitive file passes. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: An organization allows file uploads to sanctioned SaaS but has no inspection for sensitive document classification. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Apply data loss prevention classification and content controls for upload actions—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Aster Mutual.
Incorrect Answers
Approved AI usage meets policy without transmitting protected information. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A security team bans every AI destination rather than applying risk-based safeguards for approved work, usually addressed by Define AI use policies with destination trust, content controls, and monitoring appropriate to risk. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Aster Mutual was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A protected test document triggers the expected DLP event and a non-sensitive file passes.
An exfiltration simulation fails and produces a reviewable security event. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A third-party prompt asks an enterprise AI assistant to disclose internal secrets through browser upload, usually addressed by Enforce trusted authorization and AI guardrails together with outbound data inspection. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Aster Mutual was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A protected test document triggers the expected DLP event and a non-sensitive file passes.
A prohibited data transfer is stopped even when the destination is otherwise allowed. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A secure Internet gateway has DLP rules but exceptions are so broad that personal information leaves through approved sites, usually addressed by Narrow exceptions to specific users, destinations, and justified content classifications. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Aster Mutual was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A protected test document triggers the expected DLP event and a non-sensitive file passes.
