DP-203 Develop data processing Practice Question
You are designing a data processing solution for a financial services company. They need to process sensitive customer data in Azure Databricks while complying with GDPR. The data must be encrypted at rest and in transit, and access must be audited. You need to recommend a configuration that meets these requirements. Which combination of actions should you take?
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
✓
Enable double encryption using Azure Key Vault with customer-managed keys and enable Azure Databricks audit logs.
Enabling double encryption (via Azure Disk Encryption and Azure Storage Service Encryption with customer-managed keys) ensures encryption at rest and in transit; Azure Key Vault manages the keys, and Azure Databricks audit logs capture access for auditing. Option A (SSE with platform-managed keys) provides encryption at rest but not with customer-managed keys and does not include audit logs. Option B (Azure Policy with GDPR blueprint) enforces compliance but does not directly implement encryption or auditing. Option C (Azure Security Center and Defender for Storage) provides monitoring but does not encrypt data or provide access auditing.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable Azure Storage Service Encryption (SSE) with platform-managed keys and configure Azure Databricks to use a VNet injection.
Why it's wrong here
SSE with platform-managed keys does not give customer control; VNet injection helps with network isolation but not encryption key management.
- ✗
Apply an Azure Policy to require encryption and assign a built-in GDPR blueprint.
Why it's wrong here
Policy enforces compliance but does not directly implement encryption; encryption must be configured separately.
- ✗
Use Azure Security Center to monitor for data exposure and enable Azure Defender for Storage.
Why it's wrong here
Security Center provides monitoring and threat detection, not encryption itself.
- ✓
Enable double encryption using Azure Key Vault with customer-managed keys and enable Azure Databricks audit logs.
Why this is correct
Double encryption provides encryption at rest and in transit; customer-managed keys give control; audit logs track access.
