ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your company hosts a collaboration SaaS that lets users upload screenshots and photos to an Amazon S3 bucket. A new privacy regulation now obliges you to locate any images that contain readable email addresses or credit-card numbers so they can be tagged and protected. The security team already uses a data discovery tool that scans structured data stores with pattern-matching. Which additional capability must you enable so the same tool can reliably discover personal data inside these unstructured image objects?
Enable automatic Message Authentication Code (MAC) validation on all stored objects before scanning them.
Apply database column-masking policies that obfuscate sensitive fields during discovery scans.
Run ad-hoc SQL queries with a serverless service (for example, Amazon Athena) against the S3 bucket to search for sensitive strings.
Integrate an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine so text can be extracted from each image prior to pattern inspection.
Unlike text files or databases, pictures stored in S3 do not expose character data that a pattern-matching engine can read. The discovery process has to convert the visual information in each image into machine-readable text before inspection. An Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine performs this conversion, after which the existing pattern-matching logic can detect email or credit-card strings. Querying with SQL-on-S3, column-level masking, or checking message authentication codes does not extract text from image pixels, so they cannot discover the required personal data in screenshots or photos.
