Question 1
Which of the following has the GREATEST impact on the treatment of data within the scope of an organization's privacy policy?
Answer : C
Data classification is the process of categorizing data according to its sensitivity, value, and criticality for the organization and the data subjects. Data classification has the greatest impact on the treatment of data within the scope of an organization's privacy policy, as it determines the appropriate level of protection, access, retention, and disposal for each type of dat
a. Data classification also helps to comply with the privacy principles and regulations, such as data minimization, purpose limitation, accuracy, security, and accountability.
Question 2
Which of the following MOST significantly impacts an organization's ability to respond to data subject access requests?
Answer : D
The availability of application data flow diagrams is the most significant factor that impacts an organization's ability to respond to data subject access requests. Data subject access requests are requests made by data subjects to exercise their rights under privacy laws or regulations, such as the right to access, rectify, erase, or port their personal data. To respond to these requests effectively and efficiently, the organization needs to have a clear and accurate understanding of how personal data is collected, processed, stored, shared, and disposed of within its applications and systems. Application data flow diagrams are graphical representations of the data lifecycle that show the sources, destinations, transformations, and dependencies of the data. Having these diagrams readily available helps the organization to locate, retrieve, modify, or delete the personal data in response to the data subject access requests. The other options are less significant or relevant than the availability of application data flow diagrams, as they do not directly affect the organization's ability to identify and access the personal data.
Question 3
A privacy risk assessment identified that a third-party collects personal data on the organization's behalf. This finding could subject the organization to a regulatory fine for not disclosing this relationship. What should the organization do NEXT?
Answer : D
The organization should disclose the relationship to those affected in jurisdictions where such disclosures are required, as this is the most appropriate and compliant action to take after identifying a privacy risk related to third-party data collection. Disclosing the relationship to the data subjects is a way of providing transparency and accountability, as well as respecting their rights and choices regarding their personal data. It also helps the organization avoid regulatory fines or sanctions for not complying with the applicable privacy laws or regulations that mandate such disclosures. The other options are not as effective or sufficient as disclosing the relationship, as they do not address the root cause of the risk, do not mitigate the potential harm to the data subjects, or do not align with the privacy principles and best practices.
Question 4
Which of the following is the BEST way to ensure an organization's enterprise risk management (ERM) framework can protect the organization from privacy harms?
Answer : D
The best way to ensure an organization's enterprise risk management (ERM) framework can protect the organization from privacy harms is to complete a privacy risk assessment. A privacy risk assessment is a systematic process of identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and treating the privacy risks that may affect the organization's objectives, operations, stakeholders, and reputation. A privacy risk assessment helps to align the ERM framework with the privacy requirements, expectations, and obligations of the organization, as well as to prioritize and mitigate the privacy risks that may cause privacy harms. Privacy harms are the adverse consequences or impacts that may result from the unauthorized or inappropriate use, disclosure, or loss of personal data, such as financial loss, identity theft, discrimination, reputational damage, emotional distress, or physical harm.
Question 5
Which of the following BEST ensures an organization's data retention requirements will be met in the public cloud environment?
Which of the following scenarios should trigger the completion of a privacy impact assessment (PIA)?
Answer : B
A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is a process of analyzing the potential privacy risks and impacts of collecting, using, and disclosing personal dat
a. A PIA should be conducted when there is a change in the data processing activities that may affect the privacy of individuals or the compliance with data protection laws and regulations. One of the scenarios that should trigger the completion of a PIA is when there are new inter-organizational data flows, which means that personal data is shared or transferred between different entities or jurisdictions. This may introduce new privacy risks, such as unauthorized access, misuse, or breach of data, as well as new legal obligations, such as obtaining consent, ensuring adequate safeguards, or notifying authorities.
