Medallia Customer Experience Certification Quality Assurance & Compliance 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Medallia's QA framework, what is the recommended approach when a survey translation is flagged as potentially inaccurate by a QA reviewer?
- Remove the language option entirely from the survey
- Submit the translation for re-review by a qualified native speaker before re-deployment (Correct answer)
- Auto-translate using a third-party API and redeploy immediately
- Mark the responses from that language as invalid in the dataset
Correct answer: Submit the translation for re-review by a qualified native speaker before re-deployment
Accurate translations are critical for data integrity, so flagged content must be reviewed by a qualified native speaker before the survey goes live again.
Question 2: Which Medallia configuration best ensures that personally identifiable information (PII) is masked when shared in internal CX reports?
- Enabling field-level data masking on sensitive attributes in reporting views (Correct answer)
- Setting survey distribution to anonymous mode
- Limiting report access to senior management only
- Archiving all responses older than 90 days
Correct answer: Enabling field-level data masking on sensitive attributes in reporting views
Field-level data masking in Medallia reporting hides or redacts PII such as names and emails while still allowing analysis of feedback trends.
Question 3: A compliance officer requests evidence that Medallia survey invitations include a valid opt-out mechanism. Which element satisfies this requirement?
- A link to the company's social media pages
- An unsubscribe link that removes the respondent from future survey communications (Correct answer)
- A satisfaction rating embedded in the email footer
- A reminder notice about the survey deadline
Correct answer: An unsubscribe link that removes the respondent from future survey communications
CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and similar regulations require that marketing and survey emails include a clear, functional unsubscribe mechanism.
Question 4: During a Medallia QA cycle, which metric is used to assess whether survey questions are measuring what they are intended to measure?
- Response rate
- Construct validity (Correct answer)
- Net Promoter Score benchmark
- Survey completion time
Correct answer: Construct validity
Construct validity measures whether a survey instrument accurately captures the underlying concept it is designed to assess.
Question 5: What is the compliance implication of linking Medallia feedback data to a CRM record that contains sensitive health information (PHI)?
- It automatically triggers GDPR data subject access requests
- It may bring the Medallia instance within scope of HIPAA regulations (Correct answer)
- It requires upgrading the Medallia subscription tier
- It forces all surveys to be delivered via secure SMS only
Correct answer: It may bring the Medallia instance within scope of HIPAA regulations
Integrating CX feedback with PHI from a CRM may make the Medallia environment subject to HIPAA's data protection and security requirements.
Question 6: A QA manager wants to ensure inter-rater reliability when human reviewers score open-text responses in Medallia. Which approach is most effective?
- Having each reviewer use a different scoring rubric to capture diverse perspectives
- Training all reviewers on a standardized rubric and periodically checking agreement rates with calibration sessions (Correct answer)
- Assigning the highest-scoring responses to senior reviewers only
- Using only automated sentiment scores without human review
Correct answer: Training all reviewers on a standardized rubric and periodically checking agreement rates with calibration sessions
Standardized rubrics combined with regular calibration sessions ensure reviewers apply criteria consistently, improving inter-rater reliability.
Question 7: Which Medallia feature supports compliance with accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG 2.1) for survey delivery?
- Adaptive survey branching logic
- ARIA-label support and keyboard navigation in survey templates (Correct answer)
- Geographic distribution filtering
- Sentiment analysis on open-text fields
Correct answer: ARIA-label support and keyboard navigation in survey templates
Medallia survey templates with ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support WCAG 2.1 requirements, ensuring surveys are accessible to users with disabilities.
