Question 890
An operations review at a manufacturing plant has corrected: An organization uses a data pattern that only matches fixed-length numerics while regulated identifiers are commonly formatted with spaces or hyphens. Which observation specifically confirms success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Synthetic formatted identifiers are detected with acceptable error rates. This evidence directly tests the intended corrective action: Use supported normalization or alternative tested pattern forms that match the permitted identifier representations. It confirms the failure mechanism—Literal pattern format can miss equivalent values represented with different delimiters.—has been addressed in the actual affected flow.
Incorrect Answers
Controlled permitted data is still protected while excluded class follows documented privacy treatment. This would verify resolution of a different case: A regional law restricts inspection of a particular document class, but the DLP policy scans it indiscriminately without lawful scoping. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Use supported normalization or alternative tested pattern forms that match the permitted identifier representations.—worked.
Synthetic account-number test data is detected while unrelated sample text is ignored. This would verify resolution of a different case: A finance DLP policy must detect customer account numbers but its Data Filtering profile includes only an unrelated passport data pattern. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Use supported normalization or alternative tested pattern forms that match the permitted identifier representations.—worked.
Only the partner exception follows the approved alternate action; other synthetic sensitive transfers are blocked. This would verify resolution of a different case: The compliance group requires only monitored exceptions for a regulated partner, but an analyst disables all Data Filtering on the entire Internet policy. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Use supported normalization or alternative tested pattern forms that match the permitted identifier representations.—worked.
