Data 360 Consultant Act ON Data Practice Question
An enterprise client requires that all data exported via activation to an ad network be subjected to a final attribute masking rule to obscure sensitive demographics. How can this requirement be met?
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
✓
Create derived attributes or transformed DMO fields upstream before segment activation to ensure sensitive values are obscured or masked prior to export.
Data transformations, calculated insights, or masked attribute mappings should be applied upstream or via derived data model fields before activation export, as activation targets export mapped attributes directly.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Write an Apex trigger on the Unified Individual object to intercept and scrub outbound activation payloads.
Why it's wrong here
Apex triggers do not execute on Data Cloud activation payloads.
- ✗
Configure an encryption mask in the Activation Target configuration screen.
Why it's wrong here
Activation targets do not feature field-level attribute masking tools.
- ✓
Create derived attributes or transformed DMO fields upstream before segment activation to ensure sensitive values are obscured or masked prior to export.
Why this is correct
Masking and transformation should be done upstream via Data Transforms or calculated fields since activation targets export mapped data as-is.
- ✗
Enable Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption specifically for activation exports.
Why it's wrong here
Platform Encryption encrypts data at rest in storage, not custom attribute masking for ad networks.
