ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During user acceptance testing, the QA team needs a copy of production data so they can validate complex joins across several relational tables. Security policy forbids disclosure of any personally identifiable information (PII) in non-production environments. Which technique offers the best balance of protecting PII and preserving the referential integrity needed for the test cases?

  • Encrypt the entire record with a format-preserving cipher and ship the key to testers

  • Replace each PII field with a consistent token that maps back to the original value in a secure vault

  • Apply random data masking independently on every table before loading it into test

  • Provide only aggregated statistical summaries instead of record-level data
