ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A financial-services firm stores customer information in several cloud-hosted PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. To meet new privacy-regulation deadlines, the security team has to pinpoint every column that contains national ID or U.S. Social Security numbers so that masking controls can be applied. Which discovery technique will most effectively locate these sensitive columns in the structured data stores while minimizing false positives?

  • Use a specialized database discovery scan that first applies regular-expression filters to column names and sampled values and then runs checksum validation on matching data.

  • Deploy an object-storage content scanner to search all cloud buckets for strings that resemble Social Security numbers.

  • Analyze outbound DNS queries to identify hosts likely to contain national ID information.

  • Create cryptographic hashes of each database file and compare them against reference hashes of known PII datasets.
