UiPath-ADAv1 Logging Practice Question
Which TWO actions should be taken if an automation is found to be logging sensitive customer data in plain text?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates frequently think that updating the workflow to stop future leaks is sufficient, forgetting that previously written plain-text log files still pose an active compliance breach.
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
✓
Update the workflow to remove or mask the sensitive data
Logging sensitive data is a major compliance risk that requires immediate action. The first priority is to stop the leakage by modifying the workflow to remove or mask the sensitive information. The second is to securely purge the existing log files, as these now contain confidential data that could be accessed by unauthorized personnel, ensuring the organization maintains adherence to data protection laws and internal security policies.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Change the log level to 'Error' to hide the data
Why it's wrong here
Changing the log level to 'Error' does not remove the sensitive data from existing logs. The files already on the disk or in the database remain a security liability. Hiding them via a filter is not a remediation; the data must be purged from all storage locations to ensure compliance.
- ✓
Update the workflow to remove or mask the sensitive data
Why this is correct
Updating the workflow to sanitize or mask sensitive fields at the source is the only way to prevent the leakage from recurring. This proactive approach ensures that future logs remain clean and compliant, addressing the root cause of the security incident rather than just treating the symptoms after the fact.
- ✓
Delete the sensitive log entries from the log storage
Why this is correct
Once a data leak is identified, the logs containing the sensitive information must be securely deleted or purged from the logging infrastructure. This is necessary to mitigate the risk of exposure and ensure that the organization remains compliant with data privacy regulations regarding the handling of sensitive customer information.
- ✗
Notify the user that the process was successful
Why it's wrong here
Notifying the user of a successful execution is irrelevant when a major security breach has occurred. The priority must be incident response, risk mitigation, and compliance reporting. Ignoring the breach in favor of providing success notifications is negligent and potentially leads to severe regulatory penalties and loss of trust.
- ✗
Upgrade the robot to the latest UiPath version
Why it's wrong here
Upgrading the robot version does not resolve a data leakage issue. The problem resides in the workflow logic or the data being logged, not in the robot software itself. An upgrade is an administrative task that fails to address the security vulnerability, leaving the organization exposed to continued data theft.
