List of questions
Question 11

SCENARIO
Kyle is a new security compliance manager who will be responsible for coordinating and executing controls to ensure compliance with the company's information security policy and industry standards. Kyle is also new to the company, where collaboration is a core value. On his first day of new-hire orientation, Kyle's schedule included participating in meetings and observing work in the IT and compliance departments.
Kyle spent the morning in the IT department, where the CIO welcomed him and explained that her department was responsible for IT governance. The CIO and Kyle engaged in a conversation about the importance of identifying meaningful IT governance metrics. Following their conversation, the CIO introduced Kyle to Ted and Barney. Ted is implementing a plan to encrypt data at the transportation level of the organization's wireless network. Kyle would need to get up to speed on the project and suggest ways to monitor effectiveness once the implementation was complete.
Barney explained that his short-term goals are to establish rules governing where data can be placed and to minimize the use of offline data storage.
Kyle spent the afternoon with Jill, a compliance specialist, and learned that she was exploring an initiative for a compliance program to follow self-regulatory privacy principles. Thanks to a recent internship, Kyle had some experience in this area and knew where Jill could find some support. Jill also shared results of the company's privacy risk assessment, noting that the secondary use of personal information was considered a high risk.
By the end of the day, Kyle was very excited about his new job and his new company. In fact, he learned about an open position for someone with strong qualifications and experience with access privileges, project standards board approval processes, and application-level obligations, and couldn't wait to recommend his friend Ben who would be perfect for the job.
Which data practice is Barney most likely focused on improving?
Deletion
Inventory.
Retention.
Sharing
Barney is leading a project to improve the organization's data practices and has implemented a new policy that requires all employees to delete any data that is no longer needed for business purposes.
This suggests that Barney is most likely focused on improving the organization's data deletion practices.
Question 12

What is the main function of a breach response center?
Detecting internal security attacks.
Addressing privacy incidents.
Providing training to internal constituencies.
Interfacing with privacy regulators and governmental bodies.
The main function of a breach response center is to address privacy incidents1. A breach response center is a team of experts that conducts a comprehensive breach response when a data breach occurs1. The breach response center may include forensics, legal, information security, information technology, operations, human resources, communications, investor relations, and management1.
The other options are not the main function of a breach response center, but rather possible tasks or roles that may be involved in a breach response.
Question 13

Which is NOT a suitable action to apply to data when the retention period ends?
Aggregation.
De-identification.
Deletion.
Retagging.
Retagging is not a suitable action to apply to data when the retention period ends2. Retagging means changing the classification or label of data based on its sensitivity or value2. Retagging does not reduce the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure of personal data that is no longer needed by the organization2. The other options are suitable actions to apply to data when the retention period ends, as they either remove or anonymize personal data2.
Question 14

What is the distinguishing feature of asymmetric encryption?
It has a stronger key for encryption than for decryption.
It employs layered encryption using dissimilar methods.
It uses distinct keys for encryption and decryption.
It is designed to cross operating systems.
Reference: https://www.cryptomathic.com/news-events/blog/classification-of-cryptographic-keys-functions-and-properties
The distinguishing feature of asymmetric encryption is that it uses distinct keys for encryption and decryption3. Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, involves two keys: a public key that can be shared with anyone and used to encrypt messages; and a private key that is kept secret by its owner and used to decrypt messages3. The other options are not features of asymmetric encryption.
Question 15

What is the most important requirement to fulfill when transferring data out of an organization?
Ensuring the organization sending the data controls how the data is tagged by the receiver.
Ensuring the organization receiving the data performs a privacy impact assessment.
Ensuring the commitments made to the data owner are followed.
Extending the data retention schedule as needed.
The most important requirement to fulfill when transferring data out of an organization is ensuring the commitments made to the data owner are followed. The data owner is the person who has provided their personal data to an organization for a specific purpose or consented to its collection.
When transferring data out of an organization, such as sharing it with another entity or moving it across borders, it is essential that the organization respects the rights and expectations of the data owner and complies with any applicable laws or regulations. The other options are not requirements for transferring data out of an organization, but rather possible measures or considerations that may be relevant depending on the context or nature of the transfer.
Question 16

Which activity would best support the principle of data quality?
Providing notice to the data subject regarding any change in the purpose for collecting such data.
Ensuring that the number of teams processing personal information is limited.
Delivering information in a format that the data subject understands.
Ensuring that information remains accurate.
Reference: https://iapp.org/resources/article/fair-information-practices/
The principle of data quality states that personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which they are to be used and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up to date1. Therefore, ensuring that information remains accurate is an activity that would best support this principle1. The other options are not directly related to the principle of data quality, but rather to other principles such as purpose specification, security safeguards, or openness.
Question 17

Which Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) privacy protection principle encourages an organization to obtain an individual s consent before transferring personal information?
Individual participation.
Purpose specification.
Collection limitation.
Accountability.
The individual participation principle encourages an organization to obtain an individual's consent before transferring personal information1. According to this principle, an individual should have the right to obtain from a data controller confirmation of whether or not the data controller has data relating to him; to have communicated to him such data within a reasonable time; to be given reasons if a request made under subparagraphs (a) and (b) is denied by the data controller; and to challenge such denial; and to challenge data relating to him and, if the challenge is successful, to have the data erased, rectified, completed or amended1. The other options are not principles that encourage an organization to obtain an individual's consent before transferring personal information. http://www.oecdprivacy.org/
Question 18

Granting data subjects the right to have data corrected, amended, or deleted describes?
Use limitation.
Accountability.
A security safeguard
Individual participation
Reference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK236546/
Granting data subjects the right to have data corrected, amended, or deleted describes individual participation1. As explained above, the individual participation principle gives individuals certain rights over their personal data held by a data controller1. One of these rights is to challenge data relating to them and, if the challenge is successful, to have the data erased, rectified, completed or amended1. The other options are not principles that describe granting data subjects this right.
Question 19

What is a mistake organizations make when establishing privacy settings during the development of applications?
Providing a user with too many choices.
Failing to use "Do Not Track" technology.
Providing a user with too much third-party information.
Failing to get explicit consent from a user on the use of cookies.
Failing to get explicit consent from a user on the use of cookies is a mistake organizations make when establishing privacy settings during the development of applications2. Cookies are small files that store information about users' preferences and behavior on websites2. They can be used for various purposes such as authentication, personalization, analytics, advertising etc.2 However, they can also pose privacy risks as they may collect sensitive or personal information without users' knowledge or consent2. Therefore, organizations should inform users about how they use cookies and obtain their explicit consent before placing cookies on their devices2. This is also required by some laws such as EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive2. The other options are not mistakes organizations make when establishing privacy settings during the development of applications.
Question 20

Which of the following suggests the greatest degree of transparency?
A privacy disclosure statement clearly articulates general purposes for collection
The data subject has multiple opportunities to opt-out after collection has occurred.
A privacy notice accommodates broadly defined future collections for new products.
After reading the privacy notice, a data subject confidently infers how her information will be used.
After reading the privacy notice, a data subject confidently infers how her information will be used suggests the greatest degree of transparency3
