What have experts identified as an important trend in privacy program development?

The narrowing of regulatory definitions of personal information.

The narrowing of regulatory definitions of personal information.

The rollback of ambitious programs due to budgetary restraints.

The rollback of ambitious programs due to budgetary restraints.

The movement beyond crisis management to proactive prevention.

The movement beyond crisis management to proactive prevention.

The stabilization of programs as the pace of new legal mandates slows.

The stabilization of programs as the pace of new legal mandates slows.

Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

An important trend in privacy program development is the movement beyond crisis management to proactive prevention. This means that instead of reacting to privacy breaches or incidents after they occur, organizations are taking steps to prevent them from happening in the first place. This involves implementing privacy by design principles, conducting privacy impact assessments, adopting privacy-enhancing technologies, training staff on privacy awareness and best practices, and monitoring compliance and performance. By doing so, organizations can reduce risks, costs, and reputational damage associated with privacy violations.Reference: [IAPP CIPM Study Guide], page 93-94; [Moving from Crisis Management to Proactive Prevention]

Question 32

Report Export Collapse

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

Manasa is a product manager at Omnipresent Omnimedia, where she is responsible for leading the development of the company's flagship product, the Handy Helper. The Handy Helper is an application that can be used in the home to manage family calendars, do online shopping, and schedule doctor appointments. After having had a successful launch in the United States, the Handy Helper is about to be made available for purchase worldwide.

The packaging and user guide for the Handy Helper indicate that it is a 'privacy friendly' product suitable for the whole family, including children, but does not provide any further detail or privacy notice. In order to use the application, a family creates a single account, and the primary user has access to all information about the other users. Upon start up, the primary user must check a box consenting to receive marketing emails from Omnipresent Omnimedia and selected marketing partners in order to be able to use the application.

Sanjay, the head of privacy at Omnipresent Omnimedia, was working on an agreement with a European distributor of Handy Helper when he fielded many Questions about the product from the distributor. Sanjay needed to look more closely at the product in order to be able to answer the Questions as he was not involved in the product development process.

In speaking with the product team, he learned that the Handy Helper collected and stored all of a user's sensitive medical information for the medical appointment scheduler. In fact, all of the user's information is stored by Handy Helper for the additional purpose of creating additional products and to analyze usage of the product. This data is all stored in the cloud and is encrypted both during transmission and at rest.

Consistent with the CEO's philosophy that great new product ideas can come from anyone, all Omnipresent Omnimedia employees have access to user data under a program called Eureka. Omnipresent Omnimedia is hoping that at some point in the future, the data will reveal insights that could be used to create a fully automated application that runs on artificial intelligence, but as of yet, Eureka is not well-defined and is considered a long-term goal.

What step in the system development process did Manasa skip?

Obtain express written consent from users of the Handy Helper regarding marketing.

Obtain express written consent from users of the Handy Helper regarding marketing.

Work with Sanjay to review any necessary privacy requirements to be built into the product.

Build the artificial intelligence feature so that users would not have to input sensitive information into the Handy Helper.

Suggested answer: B
Explanation:

Manasa skipped the step of working with Sanjay to review any necessary privacy requirements to be built into the product.This step is part of the system analysis phase, which is less theoretical and focuses more on practical application1By working with Sanjay, Manasa could have identified the legal and ethical obligations that Omnipresent Omnimedia has to protect the privacy of its users, especially in different jurisdictions.She could have also incorporated privacy by design principles, such as data minimization, purpose limitation, and user consent, into the product development process2This would have helped to avoid potential privacy risks and violations that could harm the reputation and trust of the company and its customers.Reference:1:7 Phases of the System Development Life Cycle (With Tips);2: [Privacy by Design: The 7 Foundational Principles]

Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

An administrative safeguard that should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by Manasa and her product management team is a policy restricting data access on a ''need to know'' basis.This means that only authorized personnel who have a legitimate business purpose for accessing the data should be able to do so3This would help to prevent unauthorized or unnecessary access, use, or disclosure of sensitive or personal data by internal or external parties.It would also reduce the risk of data breaches, theft, or loss that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data4Reference:3:HIPAA Security Series #2 - Administrative Safeguards - HHS.gov;4:Administrative Safeguards of the Security Rule: What Are They?

Suggested answer: D
Explanation:

The Handy Helper might violate the element of the Privacy by Design (PbD) framework that requires integrating privacy throughout the system development life cycle.According to the PbD framework, privacy should be embedded into the design and architecture of IT systems and business practices, not added as an afterthought1This means that privacy should be considered at every stage of the system development life cycle, from planning to analysis to design to development to implementation to maintenance2However, the Handy Helper seems to have been developed without involving Sanjay, the head of privacy, or conducting a privacy impact assessment (PIA) to identify and mitigate potential privacy risks3The product also lacks a clear and transparent privacy notice that informs users about what data is collected, how it is used, where it is stored, who has access to it, and what choices they have4These issues could expose the product to legal and reputational challenges, especially in regions with strict data protection regulations, such as Europe.Reference:1:Privacy by Design - The LIFE Institute;2:System Development Life Cycle - GeeksforGeeks;3: [Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) | NZ Digital government];4: [Privacy Notices under EU Data Protection Law | Privacy International]

Suggested answer: B
Explanation:

Sanjay should work with Manasa to review and remediate the Handy Helper as a gating item before it is released. This means that Sanjay should collaborate with Manasa and her product team to evaluate the privacy implications of the product and address any gaps or issues before launching it in Europe. This could involve conducting a PIA, applying the PbD principles, revising the consent mechanism, updating the privacy notice, ensuring compliance with data localization requirements, implementing data security measures, and limiting data access based on the least privilege principle. By doing so, Sanjay could help minimize the risks of offering the product in Europe and avoid potential violations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or other local laws that could result in fines, lawsuits, or loss of trust.

A person with security knowledge should be involved with the deployment of technical security controls.

A person with security knowledge should be involved with the deployment of technical security controls.

Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

The statement that is false regarding the use of technical security controls is that most privacy legislation lists the types of technical security controls that must be implemented.Technical security controls are the hardware and software components that protect a system against cyberattacks, such as encryption, firewalls, antivirus software, and access control mechanisms1However, most privacy legislation does not prescribe specific types of technical security controls that must be implemented by organizations.Instead, they usually require organizations to implement reasonable or appropriate technical security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized or unlawful access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction23The exact level and type of technical security controls may depend on various factors, such as the nature and sensitivity of the data, the risks and threats involved, the state of the art technology available, and the cost and feasibility of implementation4Therefore, organizations have some flexibility and discretion in choosing the most suitable technical security controls for their data processing activities.Reference:1:Technical Controls --- Cybersecurity Resilience - Resilient Energy Platform;2: [General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) -- Official Legal Text], Article 32;3: [Privacy Act 1988], Schedule 1 - Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), APP 11;4:Technical Security Controls: Encryption, Firewalls & More

Report the incident to law enforcement.

Contact the recipient to delete the email.

Contact the recipient to delete the email.

Send firm-wide email notification to employees.

Send firm-wide email notification to employees.

Suggested answer: A
Explanation:

The first action that the privacy officer should take after being notified by the benefits manager that she accidentally sent out the retirement enrollment report of all employees to a wrong vendor is to perform a risk of harm analysis.A risk of harm analysis is a process of assessing the potential adverse consequences for the individuals whose personal data has been compromised by a data breach or incident5The purpose of this analysis is to determine whether the breach or incident poses a significant risk of harm to the affected individuals, such as identity theft, fraud, discrimination, physical harm, emotional distress, or reputational damage6The risk of harm analysis should consider various factors, such as the type and amount of data involved, the sensitivity and context of the data, the likelihood and severity of harm, the characteristics of the recipients or unauthorized parties who accessed the data, and the mitigating measures taken or available to reduce the harm7Based on this analysis, the privacy officer can then decide whether to notify the affected individuals, the relevant authorities, or other stakeholders about the breach or incident.Notification is usually required by law or best practice when there is a high risk of harm to the individuals as a result of the breach or incident8Notification can also help to mitigate the harm by allowing the individuals to take protective actions or seek remedies.Therefore, performing a risk of harm analysis is a crucial first step for responding to a data breach or incident.Reference:5:Can a risk of harm itself be a harm? | Analysis | Oxford Academic;6:No Harm Done?

Question 38

Report Export Collapse

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

Henry Home Furnishings has built high-end furniture for nearly forty years. However, the new owner, Anton, has found some degree of disorganization after touring the company headquarters. His uncle Henry had always focused on production -- not data processing -- and Anton is concerned. In several storage rooms, he has found paper files, disks, and old computers that appear to contain the personal data of current and former employees and customers. Anton knows that a single break-in could irrevocably damage the company's relationship with its loyal customers. He intends to set a goal of guaranteed zero loss of personal information.

To this end, Anton originally planned to place restrictions on who was admitted to the physical premises of the company. However, Kenneth -- his uncle's vice president and longtime confidante -- wants to hold off on Anton's idea in favor of converting any paper records held at the company to electronic storage. Kenneth believes this process would only take one or two years. Anton likes this idea; he envisions a password- protected system that only he and Kenneth can access.

Anton also plans to divest the company of most of its subsidiaries. Not only will this make his job easier, but it will simplify the management of the stored data. The heads of subsidiaries like the art gallery and kitchenware store down the street will be responsible for their own information management. Then, any unneeded subsidiary data still in Anton's possession can be destroyed within the next few years.

After learning of a recent security incident, Anton realizes that another crucial step will be notifying customers. Kenneth insists that two lost hard drives in Question are not cause for concern; all of the data was encrypted and not sensitive in nature. Anton does not want to take any chances, however. He intends on sending notice letters to all employees and customers to be safe.

Anton must also check for compliance with all legislative, regulatory, and market requirements related to privacy protection. Kenneth oversaw the development of the company's online presence about ten years ago, but Anton is not confident about his understanding of recent online marketing laws. Anton is assigning another trusted employee with a law background the task of the compliance assessment. After a thorough analysis, Anton knows the company should be safe for another five years, at which time he can order another check.

Documentation of this analysis will show auditors due diligence.

Anton has started down a long road toward improved management of the company, but he knows the effort is worth it. Anton wants his uncle's legacy to continue for many years to come.

To improve the facility's system of data security, Anton should consider following through with the plan for which of the following?

Customer communication.

Customer communication.

Employee access to electronic storage.

Employee access to electronic storage.

Employee advisement regarding legal matters.

Employee advisement regarding legal matters.

Controlled access at the company headquarters.

Suggested answer: D
Explanation:

To improve the facility's system of data security, Anton should consider following through with the plan for controlled access at the company headquarters. This plan would help to prevent unauthorized physical access to the paper files, disks, and old computers that contain personal data of employees and customers.Physical security is an important aspect of data security that involves protecting hardware and storage devices from theft, damage, or tampering1By placing restrictions on who can enter the premises or access certain areas or rooms, Anton can reduce the risk of data breaches or incidents caused by intruders or insiders2He can also implement locks, alarms, cameras, or guards to enhance the physical security of the facility3Reference:1:Physical Security: What Is It?;2: [Physical Security: Why It's Important & How To Implement It];3: [Physical Security Best Practices: 10 Tips to Secure Your Workplace]

Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

Anton's objective for zero loss of personal information is the most unachievable among his plans for improving the data management of the company. While this objective is admirable and desirable, it is unrealistic and impractical to guarantee that no personal information will ever be lost due to a data breach or incident.Data breaches are inevitable and unpredictable events that can affect any organization regardless of its size or industry4Even with the best data security practices and tools in place, there is always a possibility of human error, system failure, malicious attack, or natural disaster that could compromise personal information5Therefore, Anton should focus on minimizing the likelihood and impact of data breaches rather than aiming for zero loss of personal information.He should also prepare a data breach response plan that outlines how to detect, contain, assess, report, and recover from a data breach in a timely and effective manner6Reference:4: [Data Breaches Are Inevitable: Here's How to Protect Your Business];5: The Top 5 Causes Of Data Breaches;6: Data Breach Response: A Guide for Business - Federal Trade Commission

SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION: As the Director of data protection for Consolidated Records Corporation, you are justifiably pleased with your accomplishments so far. Your hiring was precipitated by warnings from regulatory agencies following a series of relatively minor data breaches that could easily have been worse. However, you have not had a reportable incident for the three years that you have been with the company. In fact, you consider your program a model that others in the data storage industry may note in their own program development. You started the program at Consolidated from a jumbled mix of policies and procedures and worked toward coherence across departments and throughout operations. You were aided along the way by the program's sponsor, the vice president of operations, as well as by a Privacy Team that started from a clear understanding of the need for change. Initially, your work was greeted with little confidence or enthusiasm by the company's 'old guard' among both the executive team and frontline personnel working with data and interfacing with clients. Through the use of metrics that showed the costs not only of the breaches that had occurred, but also projections of the costs that easily could occur given the current state of operations, you soon had the leaders and key decision-makers largely on your side. Many of the other employees were more resistant, but face-to-face meetings with each department and the development of a baseline privacy training program achieved sufficient 'buy-in' to begin putting the proper procedures into place. Now, privacy protection is an accepted component of all current operations involving personal or protected data and must be part of the end product of any process of technological development. While your approach is not systematic, it is fairly effective. You are left contemplating: What must be done to maintain the program and develop it beyond just a data breach prevention program? How can you build on your success? What are the next action steps? What practice would afford the Director the most rigorous way to check on the program's compliance with laws, regulations and industry best practices?



SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION: You lead the privacy office for a company that handles information from individuals living in several countries throughout Europe and the Americas. You begin that morning's privacy review when a contracts officer sends you a message asking for a phone call. The message lacks clarity and detail, but you presume that data was lost. When you contact the contracts officer, he tells you that he received a letter in the mail from a vendor stating that the vendor improperly shared information about your customers. He called the vendor and confirmed that your company recently surveyed exactly 2000 individuals about their most recent healthcare experience and sent those surveys to the vendor to transcribe it into a database, but the vendor forgot to encrypt the database as promised in the contract. As a result, the vendor has lost control of the data. The vendor is extremely apologetic and offers to take responsibility for sending out the notifications. They tell you they set aside 2000 stamped postcards because that should reduce the time it takes to get the notice in the mail. One side is limited to their logo, but the other side is blank and they will accept whatever you want to write. You put their offer on hold and begin to develop the text around the space constraints. You are content to let the vendor's logo be associated with the notification. The notification explains that your company recently hired a vendor to store information about their most recent experience at St. Sebastian Hospital's Clinic for Infectious Diseases. The vendor did not encrypt the information and no longer has control of it. All 2000 affected individuals are invited to sign-up for email notifications about their information. They simply need to go to your company's website and watch a quick advertisement, then provide their name, email address, and month and year of birth. You email the incident-response council for their buy-in before 9 a.m. If anything goes wrong in this situation, you want to diffuse the blame across your colleagues. Over the next eight hours, everyone emails their comments back and forth. The consultant who leads the incident-response team notes that it is his first day with the company, but he has been in other industries for 45 years and will do his best. One of the three lawyers on the council causes the conversation to veer off course, but it eventually gets back on track. At the end of the day, they vote to proceed with the notification you wrote and use the vendor's postcards. Shortly after the vendor mails the postcards, you learn the data was on a server that was stolen, and make the decision to have your company offer credit monitoring services. A quick internet search finds a credit monitoring company with a convincing name: Credit Under Lock and Key (CRUDLOK). Your sales rep has never handled a contract for 2000 people, but develops a proposal in about a day which says CRUDLOK will: 1. Send an enrollment invitation to everyone the day after the contract is signed. 2. Enroll someone with just their first name and the last-4 of their national identifier. 3. Monitor each enrollee's credit for two years from the date of enrollment. 4. Send a monthly email with their credit rating and offers for credit-related services at market rates. 5. Charge your company 20% of the cost of any credit restoration. You execute the contract and the enrollment invitations are emailed to the 2000 individuals. Three days later you sit down and document all that went well and all that could have gone better. You put it in a file to reference the next time an incident occurs. What is the most concerning limitation of the incident-response council?





SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION: Edufox has hosted an annual convention of users of its famous e-learning software platform, and over time, it has become a grand event. It fills one of the large downtown conference hotels and overflows into the others, with several thousand attendees enjoying three days of presentations, panel discussions and networking. The convention is the centerpiece of the company's product rollout schedule and a great training opportunity for current users. The sales force also encourages prospective clients to attend to get a better sense of the ways in which the system can be customized to meet diverse needs and understand that when they buy into this system, they are joining a community that feels like family. This year's conference is only three weeks away, and you have just heard news of a new initiative supporting it: a smartphone app for attendees. The app will support late registration, highlight the featured presentations and provide a mobile version of the conference program. It also links to a restaurant reservation system with the best cuisine in the areas featured. 'It's going to be great,' the developer, Deidre Hoffman, tells you, 'if, that is, we actually get it working!' She laughs nervously but explains that because of the tight time frame she'd been given to build the app, she outsourced the job to a local firm. 'It's just three young people,' she says, 'but they do great work.' She describes some of the other apps they have built. When asked how they were selected for this job, Deidre shrugs. 'They do good work, so I chose them.' Deidre is a terrific employee with a strong track record. That's why she's been charged to deliver this rushed project. You're sure she has the best interests of the company at heart, and you don't doubt that she's under pressure to meet a deadline that cannot be pushed back. However, you have concerns about the app's handling of personal data and its security safeguards. Over lunch in the break room, you start to talk to her about it, but she quickly tries to reassure you, 'I'm sure with your help we can fix any security issues if we have to, but I doubt there'll be any. These people build apps for a living, and they know what they're doing. You worry too much, but that's why you're so good at your job!' Since it is too late to restructure the contract with the vendor or prevent the app from being deployed, what is the best step for you to take next?

SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION: Henry Home Furnishings has built high-end furniture for nearly forty years. However, the new owner, Anton, has found some degree of disorganization after touring the company headquarters. His uncle Henry had always focused on production -- not data processing -- and Anton is concerned. In several storage rooms, he has found paper files, disks, and old computers that appear to contain the personal data of current and former employees and customers. Anton knows that a single break-in could irrevocably damage the company's relationship with its loyal customers. He intends to set a goal of guaranteed zero loss of personal information. To this end, Anton originally planned to place restrictions on who was admitted to the physical premises of the company. However, Kenneth -- his uncle's vice president and longtime confidante -- wants to hold off on Anton's idea in favor of converting any paper records held at the company to electronic storage. Kenneth believes this process would only take one or two years. Anton likes this idea; he envisions a password- protected system that only he and Kenneth can access. Anton also plans to divest the company of most of its subsidiaries. Not only will this make his job easier, but it will simplify the management of the stored data. The heads of subsidiaries like the art gallery and kitchenware store down the street will be responsible for their own information management. Then, any unneeded subsidiary data still in Anton's possession can be destroyed within the next few years. After learning of a recent security incident, Anton realizes that another crucial step will be notifying customers. Kenneth insists that two lost hard drives in Question are not cause for concern; all of the data was encrypted and not sensitive in nature. Anton does not want to take any chances, however. He intends on sending notice letters to all employees and customers to be safe. Anton must also check for compliance with all legislative, regulatory, and market requirements related to privacy protection. Kenneth oversaw the development of the company's online presence about ten years ago, but Anton is not confident about his understanding of recent online marketing laws. Anton is assigning another trusted employee with a law background the task of the compliance assessment. After a thorough analysis, Anton knows the company should be safe for another five years, at which time he can order another check. Documentation of this analysis will show auditors due diligence. Anton has started down a long road toward improved management of the company, but he knows the effort is worth it. Anton wants his uncle's legacy to continue for many years to come. To improve the facility's system of data security, Anton should consider following through with the plan for which of the following?
