CCSP · Question #751
What type of masking would you employ to produce a separate data set for testing purposes based on production data without any sensitive information?
The correct answer is D. Static. Static data masking creates a permanent, separate copy of a dataset where sensitive values have been replaced with realistic but fictitious data. This copy is then handed off to development or QA teams for testing without ever exposing real PII or sensitive records. Dynamic…

Explanation
Static data masking creates a permanent, separate copy of a dataset where sensitive values have been replaced with realistic but fictitious data. This copy is then handed off to development or QA teams for testing without ever exposing real PII or sensitive records. Dynamic masking, by contrast, intercepts and obfuscates data in real time during queries without producing a separate file-it is used for live access control, not test-environment provisioning. Tokenization replaces data with tokens that can be reversed with a key, and 'replicated' is not a standard masking type.
