ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A security team needs to locate any customer email addresses that might be written to application-generated audit logs stored as JSON objects in an S3 bucket. Developers frequently change the property name that holds the address (examples include "email", "user_email", and "contact"). To ensure the scan continues to find the data even when field names change, which data-discovery capability should the team enable in their cloud-native tool?
Scanning that classifies files solely by S3 object metadata such as tags, prefixes, or file extension
Filtering based on object MIME header followed by checksum validation of the file contents
JSON-aware content inspection that applies pattern or regex matching to all values, independent of key names
Discovery that requires the administrator to map expected column or field names before each scan
Because JSON is semi-structured, relying on fixed field names or external metadata will miss values when developers rename keys. Enabling content inspection that first parses the object as JSON and then applies pattern matching (for example, a regular expression for RFC-5322 email format) to every value allows the tool to detect the sensitive string no matter what key precedes it. Metadata-only, schema-based, or header-level techniques would fail once the key names deviate from the predefined list.
