Sample Practice Questions
Question 1: According to the DAMA-DMBOK, which role is primarily responsible for the cross-functional coordination of data governance activities and the adjudication of data-related issues?
A. The Chief Information Officer (CIO)
B. The Data Governance Steering Committee
C. The Database Administrator (DBA)
D. The Data Stewardship Council
E. The Project Management Office (PMO)
F. External Audit Teams
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D (Correct): The Data Stewardship Council is the body responsible for day-to-day coordination, defining data standards, and resolving issues across departments.
A (Incorrect): While the CIO provides executive support, they do not handle the granular, cross-functional adjudication of data issues.
B (Incorrect): The Steering Committee provides high-level strategic direction and funding rather than operational coordination.
C (Incorrect): The DBA focuses on the physical technical implementation and maintenance of databases.
E (Incorrect): The PMO manages project timelines and resources, not data-specific governance policies.
F (Incorrect): External auditors verify compliance but do not manage the internal governance framework.
Question 2: In the context of Data Quality, which technique is most effective for discovering the actual content, structure, and quality of data by analyzing the data itself?
A. Data Encryption
B. Data Profiling
C. Data Masking
D. Change Management
E. Knowledge Sharing
F. Access Control
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B (Correct): Data Profiling is the statistical analysis of data to uncover patterns, anomalies, and inconsistencies at the source.
A (Incorrect): Encryption is a security measure to protect data, not a discovery tool for quality.
C (Incorrect): Masking is used to hide sensitive data during testing or development.
D (Incorrect): Change management deals with the "people" side of implementations, not the technical analysis of data.
E (Incorrect): Knowledge sharing is a communication process, not a data analysis technique.
F (Incorrect): Access control restricts who can see data but doesn't analyze the quality of the data content.
Question 3: Which security measure ensures that data is rendered unreadable to unauthorized users without the correct decryption key?
A. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
B. Data Accountability
C. Data Encryption
D. Project Scoping
E. Data Profiling
F. Communication Strategy
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C (Correct): Encryption uses mathematical algorithms to transform data into ciphertext, requiring a key to revert it to plaintext.
A (Incorrect): RBAC manages permissions but does not change the readability of the data itself if the perimeter is breached.
B (Incorrect): Accountability is a governance principle, not a technical security control.
D (Incorrect): Project scoping is a planning activity.
E (Incorrect): Data profiling is a quality discovery technique.
F (Incorrect): Communication strategies are part of implementation planning, not data security.
