350-701 Practice Question: Which TWO actions can be configured in a Cisco…
Which TWO actions can be configured in a Cisco ESA DLP policy to respond to a violation involving outbound credit card numbers? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'notification-only' actions (like CC or disclaimer) and 'enforcement' actions (like encrypt or quarantine), leading candidates to mistakenly select passive options that do not actually prevent data exfiltration.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Encrypt the message using a secure policy
Cisco ESA DLP policies can automatically encrypt outbound messages containing sensitive data like credit card numbers. This ensures that even if the message is intercepted, the content remains protected, which is a common compliance requirement for PCI DSS.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Deliver the message with a CC to the compliance team
Why it's wrong here
This is not a standard DLP action; better to encrypt or block.
- ✓
Encrypt the message using a secure policy
Why this is correct
Encryption ensures the data is protected even if sent.
- ✓
Quarantine the message for review
Why this is correct
Quarantine is a common DLP action to hold messages for manual review.
- ✗
Add a disclaimer that the message is confidential
Why it's wrong here
Disclaimer is a separate mail policy action, not DLP.
- ✗
Bounce the message back to the sender
Why it's wrong here
Bouncing is possible but not a DLP policy action; it's a message filter action.
