During ERP implementation at a mid-sized Pune firm, the project team wants to test a new payroll module using a copy of live employee data. Which approach is most consistent with good ERP governance and data protection?

The firm should mask or anonymise personal data in the test environment and restrict who can access it. This lets the payroll module be tested properly without exposing employee information. Copying live data unchanged, skipping tests or testing on production all create privacy or integrity risks.

  1. AMask or anonymise the personal data in the test environment and restrict access to itCorrect
  2. BCopy live data unchanged to the test system for all developers
  3. CSkip testing to avoid exposing data
  4. DTest directly on the production system after office hours

Explanation

Test environments are usually less protected, so sensitive data should be masked or anonymised and access limited. Unchanged copies expose personal data to many people, skipping testing risks errors, and testing on production risks corrupting live records.
