ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During security-focused test planning, a team needs a dataset that closely resembles production customer records but must not expose any real personally identifiable information. Which approach most effectively satisfies both realism and privacy requirements?

  • Populate each field with completely random characters, ignoring the original data formats and relationships.

  • Delete a large percentage of rows from the production database and use the remaining subset for testing.

  • Copy the entire production database to the test environment, encrypt it, and provide testers with decryption keys when needed.

  • Use data masking to replace sensitive fields with format-preserving synthetic values while maintaining referential integrity across tables.
