A marketing Cloud admin wants to ensure sensitive information needed for email sends is NOT imported and stored in Marketing cloud. What solution should they implement?


A. Tokenized Sending


B. Transparent Data Encryption


C. Key Management


D. Field level Encryption





A.
  Tokenized Sending

Explanation:

To ensure sensitive information needed for email sends is not imported and stored in Marketing Cloud, NTO should implement Tokenized Sending4. Tokenized Sending is a feature that allows NTO to send emails using encrypted tokens instead of actual email addresses. The tokens are generated by an external system and stored in a secure database outside of Marketing Cloud. When NTO sends an email, Marketing Cloud sends the token to the external system, which decrypts it and returns the actual email address. This way, NTO can avoid importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud. The other options are incorrect because:

Transparent Data Encryption. This is a feature that encrypts data at rest in Marketing Cloud using encryption keys managed by Salesforce. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only protects it from unauthorized access5.

Key Management. This is a feature that allows NTO to manage their own encryption keys for data at rest in Marketing Cloud using an external key management system. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only gives them more control over their encryption keys.

Field Level Encryption. This is a feature that encrypts specific fields in data extensions using encryption keys managed by NTO. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only encrypts it within data extensions.

D. Winner evaluation

Path Optimizer is a feature that allows marketers to test different paths in a journey and select a winner based on a specific metric. To use Path Optimizer, the admin needs to select a schedule type of Run Once, which means the journey will run only once for a single batch of contacts. The admin also needs to select a winner evaluation, which determines how long the test will run and how the winner will be chosen. After selecting these settings, the admin can configure the Holdback percentage, which is the percentage of contacts that will not enter any path until a winner is selected

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) uses data extensions for all of their email audiences. A customer reports they unsubscribed several week-end ago, but continue to receive NTO's daily digest at their old address. NTO's Marketing cloud Admin has confidently deleted them from present in the appropriate data extension. What consideration could account for this behavior?


A. Data retention settings were incorrect in the data extension.


B. The email address in All Subscribers is prioritized.


C. Contact Builder was not configured properly.


D. The data extension was not configured as sendable.





B.
  The email address in All Subscribers is prioritized.

Explanation:

The reason why the customer continues to receive NTO’s daily digest at their old address is because the email address in All Subscribers is prioritized. All Subscribers is the master list of subscribers in Marketing Cloud that stores their email address and subscription status. When NTO sends an email to a data extension, Marketing Cloud checks if the subscriber exists in All Subscribers and uses their email address and status from there. Therefore, deleting the customer from the data extension does not affect their subscription status or email address in All Subscribers. NTO’s Marketing Cloud Admin should update or delete the customer from All Subscribers instead. The other options are incorrect because:

Data retention settings were incorrect in the data extension. Data retention settings determine how long records are kept in a data extension before they are deleted or archived. However, this does not affect the subscription status or email address of subscribers in All Subscribers. Contact Builder was not configured properly. Contact Builder is a tool that allows NTO to manage their contacts and their attributes across different data sources. However, this does not affect the subscription status or email address of subscribers in All Subscribers.

The data extension was not configured as sendable. A sendable data extension is one that has an email address field and a subscriber key field that can be used for sending emails. However, this does not affect the subscription status or email address of subscribers in All Subscribers.

A.
  IP ramp -up takes four to six weeks to be able to fully send to all 3 million customers.

D.
  IP ramp -up is important to establish a positive sender reputation.

IP ramp-up takes four to six weeks to be able to fully send to all 3 million customers and IP ramp-up is important to establish a positive sender reputation.

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO)hired a new Marketing Cloud admin, who was told all emails come from info@email.nto.com. the previous admin did not leave any documentation. Which aspects would confirm a Sender Authentication Package (SAP) has been set up on the account? 2 answers


A. Upon receiving an email, all tracked links start with click.email.nto.com


B. The login page for Marketing Cloud Users is login.email.nto.com and is branded with NTO colors


C. Cloudpages personalized URLs are served from cloud.email.nto.com


D. Users receive Marketing Cloud password reset emails from help@email nto.com





A.
  Upon receiving an email, all tracked links start with click.email.nto.com

C.
  Cloudpages personalized URLs are served from cloud.email.nto.com

Explanation:

The aspects that would confirm that SAP has been set up on NTO’s account are:

Upon receiving an email, all tracked links start with click.email.nto.com. This indicates that NTO has configured their SAP with their own domain name (email.nto.com) and subdomain name (click) for link tracking.

Cloudpages personalized URLs are served from cloud.email.nto.com. This indicates that NTO has configured their SAP with their own domain name (email.nto.com) and subdomain name (cloud) for Cloudpages. The other options are incorrect because:

The login page for Marketing Cloud Users is login.email.nto.com and is branded with NTO colors. This does not indicate that SAP has been set up, but rather that NTO has configured their own private domain for Marketing Cloud login. This is a separate feature from SAP and does not require SAP to be enabled.

Users receive Marketing Cloud password reset emails from help@email nto.com. This does not indicate that SAP has been set up, but rather that NTO has configured their own sender address for Marketing Cloud system emails. This is a separate feature from SAP and does not require SAP to be enabled.

B. The consultant should enable deep linking in Marketing Cloud Connect configuration.


C. The consultant should enable the Create Email feature on the user Profile in the Sales Cloud.


D. Each Sales Cloud user should have a System Administrator Profile and a Role at the top of the Role Hierarchy.





A.
  Each user should have a one-to-one relationship between the Marketing Cloud user and the Sales Cloud user.

C.
  The consultant should enable the Create Email feature on the user Profile in the Sales Cloud.

Explanation:

Each user should have a one-to-one relationship between Marketing Cloud and Sales Cloud to send emails from Sales Cloud, and the Create Email feature should be enabled on the user profile to allow users to create emails in Sales Cloud. B is incorrect because deep linking is not related to creating and sending emails from Sales Cloud. D is incorrect because Sales Cloud users do not need to have System Administrator Profile and a Role at the top of the Role Hierarchy to send emails from Sales Cloud.
