Databricks Data Engineer Associate Question 474
Single answerYou are tasked with implementing data governance in your organization using Databricks. One of the key objectives is to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data in your Delta tables. Which of the following areas of data governance should you focus on to achieve this?
- A
Data Classification
- B
Access Control
- C
Data Lineage
- D
Data Quality
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Access Control is a fundamental area of data governance that enforces security policies to restrict data access to authorized users only. To ensure sensitive data in Delta tables is protected, implementing robust access control mechanisms, such as role-based access control (RBAC) or table-level permissions, is essential in Databricks.
- A. Incorrect.
Data Classification involves categorizing data based on its sensitivity and importance, but it does not directly control who has access to the data.
- B. Correct.
Access Control ensures that only authorized users can access specific data resources, making it the correct approach for restricting access to sensitive Delta tables.
- C. Incorrect.
Data Lineage tracks the origin and transformations of data, which is useful for understanding the data's lifecycle but not for controlling access.
- D. Incorrect.
Data Quality focuses on ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and consistency, but it does not address access restrictions.
