• Question 598:

  A web designer is currently verifying that the website data is compliant. Which of the following data types will be protected after confirming that the controls are in place?

  A. Credit cards
  B. Mission statements
  C. Site certificates
  D. Trademarks
  A. Credit cards

  ---

  Explanation

  The data type most directly associated with compliance controls for websites is credit card (payment card) data. Payment card information is regulated by strict industry security requirements (commonly aligned with PCI DSS) and is a prime example of sensitive data that must be protected through confidentiality, access controls, encryption, logging, and secure handling procedures. PCI DSS is specifically focused on securing payment card data.

  CompTIA Project+ includes compliance and privacy considerations and information security concepts that impact projects, including data confidentiality and data security, as well as awareness of applicable privacy regulations and organizational compliance concerns. When a designer confirms "controls are in place," the primary intent is that regulated/sensitive data is protected by those controls.

  The distractors are less fitting: mission statements are public-facing strategic content; trademarks relate to intellectual property/branding; and site certificates are security assets used to enable encrypted communication, but they are not the same as the customer data type being protected for compliance. The question is asking which data type would be protected by compliance controls--credit card data is the clearest, most regulated choice.

• Question 599:

  A. Diagnose potential areas for concern.
  B. Notify the customer base.
  C. Determine a rollback plan.

• Question 600:

  A project sponsor would like to develop a minimum viable product, but the requirements are not well defined. Which of the following should the project sponsor use?

  A. Rational Unified Process
  B. Waterfall
  C. Agile
  D. DevOps
  C. Agile

  ---

  Explanation

  Agile is a methodology that emphasizes iterative and incremental development, customer collaboration, and responsiveness to change. Agile is suitable for developing a minimum viable product (MVP), which is a version of a product with just

  enough features to be usable by early customers who can then provide feedback for future product development. Agile allows the project sponsor to deliver an MVP quickly and test it with real users, and then adapt the product based on the

  feedback and changing requirements. Agile also reduces the risk of wasting time and resources on a product that does not meet the customer's needs or expectations.
