• D
  4% (2)
• G
  2% (1)
• H

• I

Explanation

Caution: the provided answer key (A, B, E, J) appears incorrect for this question. Data Guard (B) is Oracle's high-availability/disaster recovery solution and Real Application Testing (J) captures and replays production workloads for upgrade testing - neither addresses privacy regulatory requirements. Accepting these as correct could hurt your exam performance.

The defensible correct four are A, D, E, G:

• A - Data Redaction: Dynamically masks sensitive data in query results (e.g., showing ****1234 for card numbers), directly satisfying PCI-DSS display rules and GDPR data-minimization principles.
• D - Transparent Data Encryption: Encrypts data at rest on disk, a hard requirement under PCI-DSS and a recognized GDPR technical safeguard.
• E - Data Masking & Subsetting: Replaces real PII/PAN with realistic fictional data in dev/test environments, preventing sensitive data exposure outside production.
• G - Database Vault: Enforces separation of duties by blocking privileged DBAs from accessing sensitive application data, satisfying GDPR access-control and PCI-DSS least-privilege requirements.

Wrong distractors in brief: RAC (C) = clustering/scalability; Table Partitioning (F) = performance; GoldenGate (H) = replication; Oracle Sharding (I) = distributed scale-out - none control access to or exposure of sensitive data.

Memory tip: Think "REDMAV" - Redaction, Data Masking, Advanced Security (TDE), Vault - the four tools that directly touch who sees what data and how it's stored.
