Analysts routinely export warehouse extracts that accidentally include Social Security numbers. Which metadata-driven control best reduces that exposure risk?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of sensitive-field tags as hazard stickers on chemical drums—tools can refuse to pour them into open buckets. Tag SSNs and similar fields in the catalog so extract and masking controls know what to protect. Clever renames without tags still leak.
Full Explanation
Sensitive-field tagging is metadata that enables protection controls on extracts and exports. When sensitivity is recorded as governed metadata, downstream tooling can mask, block, or route fields according to policy. Cosmetic renaming without tags and ungoverned exports leave accidental disclosure likely. Overly blunt bans on all extracts ignore the metadata-driven enforcement pattern that balances utility and protection.
