NEW QUESTION # 13
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.
Regarding the notification, which of the following would be the greatest concern?
- A. Collecting more personally identifiable information than necessary to provide updates to the affected individuals.
- B. Informing the affected individuals that data from other individuals may have also been affected.
- C. Using a postcard with the logo of the vendor who make the mistake instead of your company's logo.
- D. Trusting a vendor to send out a notice when they already failed once by not encrypting the database.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
This answer is the greatest concern regarding the notification, as it violates the data minimization principle and exposes the affected individuals to further privacy and security risks. Collecting more personally identifiable information than necessary to provide updates to the affected individuals means that the company is asking for their name, email address, and month and year of birth, which may not be relevant or proportionate for the purpose of sending email notifications. Collecting more information than necessary can also increase the likelihood of data breaches, identity theft, fraud, or misuse of the data by unauthorized or malicious parties.
NEW QUESTION # 14
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
Penny has recently joined Ace Space, a company that sells homeware accessories online, as its new privacy officer. The company is based in California but thanks to some great publicity from a social media influencer last year, the company has received an influx of sales from the EU and has set up a regional office in Ireland to support this expansion. To become familiar with Ace Space's practices and assess what her privacy priorities will be, Penny has set up meetings with a number of colleagues to hear about the work that they have been doing and their compliance efforts.
Penny's colleague in Marketing is excited by the new sales and the company's plans, but is also concerned that Penny may curtail some of the growth opportunities he has planned. He tells her "I heard someone in the breakroom talking about some new privacy laws but I really don't think it affects us. We're just a small company. I mean we just sell accessories online, so what's the real risk?" He has also told her that he works with a number of small companies that help him get projects completed in a hurry. "We've got to meet our deadlines otherwise we lose money. I just sign the contracts and get Jim in finance to push through the payment. Reviewing the contracts takes time that we just don't have." In her meeting with a member of the IT team, Penny has learned that although Ace Space has taken a number of precautions to protect its website from malicious activity, it has not taken the same level of care of its physical files or internal infrastructure. Penny's colleague in IT has told her that a former employee lost an encrypted USB key with financial data on it when he left. The company nearly lost access to their customer database last year after they fell victim to a phishing attack. Penny is told by her IT colleague that the IT team
"didn't know what to do or who should do what. We hadn't been trained on it but we're a small team though, so it worked out OK in the end." Penny is concerned that these issues will compromise Ace Space's privacy and data protection.
Penny is aware that the company has solid plans to grow its international sales and will be working closely with the CEO to give the organization a data "shake up". Her mission is to cultivate a strong privacy culture within the company.
Penny has a meeting with Ace Space's CEO today and has been asked to give her first impressions and an overview of her next steps.
What is the best way for Penny to understand the location, classification and processing purpose of the personal data Ace Space has?
- A. Conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment for the company
- B. Audit all vendors' privacy practices and safeguards
- C. Review all cloud contracts to identify the location of data servers used
- D. Analyze the data inventory to map data flows
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The best way for Penny to understand the location, classification and processing purpose of the personal data Ace Space has is to analyze the data inventory to map data flows. A data inventory is a comprehensive record of the personal data that an organization collects, stores, uses and shares. It helps to identify the sources, categories, locations, recipients and retention periods of personal data. A data flow map is a visual representation of how personal data flows within and outside an organization. It helps to identify the data transfers, processing activities, legal bases, risks and safeguards of personal data.
By analyzing the data inventory and mapping the data flows, Penny can gain a clear picture of the personal data lifecycle at Ace Space and identify any gaps or issues that need to be addressed. For example, she can determine whether Ace Space has a lawful basis for processing personal data of EU customers, whether it has adequate security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access or loss, whether it has appropriate contracts with its vendors and cloud providers to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and whether it has mechanisms to respect the rights and preferences of its customers.
The other options are not the best way for Penny to understand the location, classification and processing purpose of the personal data Ace Space has. Auditing all vendors' privacy practices and safeguards (B) is an important step to ensure that Ace Space's third-party processors are complying with their contractual obligations and legal requirements, but it does not provide a comprehensive overview of Ace Space's own personal data processing activities. Conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the company is a useful tool to assess the privacy risks and impacts of a specific project or initiative involving personal data, but it does not provide a baseline understanding of the existing personal data landscape at Ace Space. Reviewing all cloud contracts to identify the location of data servers used (D) is a relevant aspect of understanding the location of personal data, but it does not cover other aspects such as classification and processing purpose.

NEW QUESTION # 15
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?
Which of the following would be most effectively used as a guide to a systems approach to implementing data protection?
- A. International Organization for Standardization 27000 Series
- B. International Organization for Standardization 9000 Series
- C. Data Life Cycle Management Standards
- D. United Nations Privacy Agency Standards
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 16
In which situation would a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) be the least likely to be required?
- A. If a social media company created a new product compiling personal data to generate user profiles.
- B. If an after-school club processed children's data to determine which children might have food allergies.
- C. If a health-care professional or lawyer processed personal data from a patient's file.
- D. If a company created a credit-scoring platform five years ago.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a process that helps to identify and mitigate the privacy risks of a project or activity that involves personal data. A PIA is usually required when there is a new or significant change in the way personal data is collected, used, or disclosed. Therefore, a PIA would be the least likely to be required if a company created a credit-scoring platform five years ago, as this would not be a new or significant change. The other situations involve new or changed processing of personal data that could have privacy impacts, such as sensitive data (health or children's data), profiling data (user profiles), or large-scale data (patient's file). References: CIPM Study Guide, page 30; Guide to undertaking privacy impact assessments.
NEW QUESTION # 17
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
It's just what you were afraid of. Without consulting you, the information technology director at your organization launched a new initiative to encourage employees to use personal devices for conducting business. The initiative made purchasing a new, high-specification laptop computer an attractive option, with discounted laptops paid for as a payroll deduction spread over a year of paychecks. The organization is also paying the sales taxes. It's a great deal, and after a month, more than half the organization's employees have signed on and acquired new laptops. Walking through the facility, you see them happily customizing and comparing notes on their new computers, and at the end of the day, most take their laptops with them, potentially carrying personal data to their homes or other unknown locations. It's enough to give you data- protection nightmares, and you've pointed out to the information technology Director and many others in the organization the potential hazards of this new practice, including the inevitability of eventual data loss or theft.
Today you have in your office a representative of the organization's marketing department who shares with you, reluctantly, a story with potentially serious consequences. The night before, straight from work, with laptop in hand, he went to the Bull and Horn Pub to play billiards with his friends. A fine night of sport and socializing began, with the laptop "safely" tucked on a bench, beneath his jacket. Later that night, when it was time to depart, he retrieved the jacket, but the laptop was gone. It was not beneath the bench or on another bench nearby. The waitstaff had not seen it. His friends were not playing a joke on him. After a sleepless night, he confirmed it this morning, stopping by the pub to talk to the cleanup crew. They had not found it. The laptop was missing. Stolen, it seems. He looks at you, embarrassed and upset.
You ask him if the laptop contains any personal data from clients, and, sadly, he nods his head, yes. He believes it contains files on about 100 clients, including names, addresses and governmental identification numbers. He sighs and places his head in his hands in despair.
In order to determine the best course of action, how should this incident most productively be viewed?
- A. As an incident that requires the abrupt initiation of a notification campaign.
- B. As the accidental loss of personal property containing data that must be restored.
- C. As the premeditated theft of company data, until shown otherwise.
- D. As a potential compromise of personal information through unauthorized access.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
This answer recognizes the risk of data breach that may result from the loss of the laptop, as it may expose the personal information of the clients to unauthorized or unlawful processing. A data breach is defined as a security incident that leads to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. A data breach may have serious consequences for the individuals whose data is compromised, such as identity theft, fraud, discrimination, financial loss or reputational damage. Therefore, it is important to view this incident as a potential compromise of personal information and take appropriate measures to contain, assess and mitigate the impact of the breach.

NEW QUESTION # 18
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 Eurek a. 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?
- A. Build the artificial intelligence feature so that users would not have to input sensitive information into the Handy Helper.
- B. Work with Sanjay to review any necessary privacy requirements to be built into the product.
- C. Certify that the Handy Helper meets the requirements of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.
- D. Obtain express written consent from users of the Handy Helper regarding marketing.
Answer: C

NEW QUESTION # 20
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
For 15 years, Albert has worked at Treasure Box - a mail order company in the United States (U.S.) that used to sell decorative candles around the world, but has recently decided to limit its shipments to customers in the
48 contiguous states. Despite his years of experience, Albert is often overlooked for managerial positions. His frustration about not being promoted, coupled with his recent interest in issues of privacy protection, have motivated Albert to be an agent of positive change.
He will soon interview for a newly advertised position, and during the interview, Albert plans on making executives aware of lapses in the company's privacy program. He feels certain he will be rewarded with a promotion for preventing negative consequences resulting from the company's outdated policies and procedures.
For example, Albert has learned about the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountans)/CICA (Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants) Privacy Maturity Model (PMM). Albert thinks the model is a useful way to measure Treasure Box's ability to protect personal data. Albert has noticed that Treasure Box fails to meet the requirements of the highest level of maturity of this model; at his interview, Albert will pledge to assist the company with meeting this level in order to provide customers with the most rigorous security available.
Albert does want to show a positive outlook during his interview. He intends to praise the company's commitment to the security of customer and employee personal data against external threats. However, Albert worries about the high turnover rate within the company, particularly in the area of direct phone marketing. He sees many unfamiliar faces every day who are hired to do the marketing, and he often hears complaints in the lunch room regarding long hours and low pay, as well as what seems to be flagrant disregard for company procedures.
In addition, Treasure Box has had two recent security incidents. The company has responded to the incidents with internal audits and updates to security safeguards. However, profits still seem to be affected and anecdotal evidence indicates that many people still harbor mistrust. Albert wants to help the company recover.
He knows there is at least one incident the public in unaware of, although Albert does not know the details. He believes the company's insistence on keeping the incident a secret could be a further detriment to its reputation. One further way that Albert wants to help Treasure Box regain its stature is by creating a toll-free number for customers, as well as a more efficient procedure for responding to customer concerns by postal mail.
In addition to his suggestions for improvement, Albert believes that his knowledge of the company's recent business maneuvers will also impress the interviewers. For example, Albert is aware of the company's intention to acquire a medical supply company in the coming weeks.
With his forward thinking, Albert hopes to convince the managers who will be interviewing him that he is right for the job.
What is one important factor that Albert fails to consider regarding Treasure Box's response to their recent security incident?
- A. Who has access to the data
- B. What the nature of the data is
- C. How long data at the company is kept
- D. How data at the company is collected
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
This answer is an important factor that Albert fails to consider, as it can affect the legal and ethical obligations and implications of the company's response to the security incident, as well as the potential impact and harm to the individuals whose data is involved. The nature of the data refers to the type, category, sensitivity and value of the data that is collected, processed and stored by the company, such as personal, financial, health, biometric or behavioral data. Depending on the nature of the data, the company may have different requirements or restrictions for notifying, reporting or disclosing the security incident to the relevant authorities, customers, partners or stakeholders, as well as for mitigating or compensating the effects of the incident. For example, if the data is considered sensitive or confidential, such as health or medical information, the company may have a higher duty of care and a stricter obligation to protect and secure the data, as well as to inform and assist the individuals whose data is compromised.
NEW QUESTION # 21
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
Natalia, CFO of the Nationwide Grill restaurant chain, had never seen her fellow executives so anxious. Last week, a data processing firm used by the company reported that its system may have been hacked, and customer data such as names, addresses, and birthdays may have been compromised. Although the attempt was proven unsuccessful, the scare has prompted several Nationwide Grill executives to Question the company's privacy program at today's meeting.
Alice, a vice president, said that the incident could have opened the door to lawsuits, potentially damaging Nationwide Grill's market position. The Chief Information Officer (CIO), Brendan, tried to assure her that even if there had been an actual breach, the chances of a successful suit against the company were slim. But Alice remained unconvinced.
Spencer - a former CEO and currently a senior advisor - said that he had always warned against the use of contractors for data processing. At the very least, he argued, they should be held contractually liable for telling customers about any security incidents. In his view, Nationwide Grill should not be forced to soil the company name for a problem it did not cause.
One of the business development (BD) executives, Haley, then spoke, imploring everyone to see reason. "Breaches can happen, despite organizations' best efforts," she remarked. "Reasonable preparedness is key." She reminded everyone of the incident seven years ago when the large grocery chain Tinkerton's had its financial information compromised after a large order of Nationwide Grill frozen dinners. As a long-time BD executive with a solid understanding of Tinkerton's's corporate culture, built up through many years of cultivating relationships, Haley was able to successfully manage the company's incident response.
Spencer replied that acting with reason means allowing security to be handled by the security functions within the company - not BD staff. In a similar way, he said, Human Resources (HR) needs to do a better job training employees to prevent incidents. He pointed out that Nationwide Grill employees are overwhelmed with posters, emails, and memos from both HR and the ethics department related to the company's privacy program. Both the volume and the duplication of information means that it is often ignored altogether.
Spencer said, "The company needs to dedicate itself to its privacy program and set regular in-person trainings for all staff once a month." Alice responded that the suggestion, while well-meaning, is not practical. With many locations, local HR departments need to have flexibility with their training schedules. Silently, Natalia agreed.
Based on the scenario, Nationwide Grill needs to create better employee awareness of the company's privacy program by doing what?
- A. Requiring acknowledgment of company memos.
- B. Communicating to the staff more often.
- C. Improving inter-departmental cooperation.
- D. Varying the modes of communication.
Answer: A

What is one reason the European Union has enacted more comprehensive privacy laws than the United States?
- A. To allow the free movement of data between member countries
- B. To ensure there is adequate funding for enforcement

- D. To ensure adequate enforcement of existing laws
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 23
For an organization that has just experienced a data breach, what might be the least relevant metric for a company's privacy and governance team?
- A. The number of security patches applied to company devices.
- B. The number of Privacy Impact Assessments that have been completed.
- C. The number of privacy rights requests that have been exercised.
- D. The number of employees who have completed data awareness training.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The number of security patches applied to company devices might be the least relevant metric for a company's privacy and governance team after a data breach. While security patches are important for preventing future breaches, they do not directly measure the impact or response of the current breach. The other metrics are more relevant for assessing how the company handled the breach, such as how it complied with the privacy rights of affected individuals, how it evaluated the privacy risks of its systems, and how it trained its employees on data awareness. References: CIPM Study Guide, page 28.
NEW QUESTION # 24
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.
In terms of compliance with regulatory and legislative changes, Anton has a misconception regarding?
- A. The timeline for monitoring.
- B. The type of required qualifications.
- C. The use of internal employees.
- D. The method of recordkeeping.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
In terms of compliance with regulatory and legislative changes, Anton has a misconception regarding the timeline for monitoring. He believes that the company should be safe for another five years after conducting a compliance assessment and documenting the analysis. However, this is a risky and unrealistic assumption that could expose the company to legal liabilities and penalties. Regulatory and legislative changes are dynamic and frequent in today's business environment. They can affect various aspects of the company's operations, such as data protection, online marketing, consumer rights, labor laws, tax laws, environmental laws, etc5 Therefore, the company needs to monitor these changes continuously and proactively to ensure compliance at all times. Waiting for five years to check for compliance again could result in missing important updates or requirements that could impact the company's business practices or obligations. Moreover, compliance monitoring is not only a one-time activity but an ongoing process that involves evaluating the effectiveness of the company's policies and procedures in meeting the regulatory standards and expectations6 Compliance monitoring also helps to identify any gaps or weaknesses in the company's compliance program and take corrective actions to improve it. Therefore, Anton should revise his timeline for monitoring regulatory and legislative changes and adopt a more regular and systematic approach that aligns with the company's risk profile and regulatory environment.

- C. The Board of Directors.
- D. The Chief Financial Officer.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
If an organization maintains a separate ethics office, its officer would typically report to the Board of Directors in order to retain the greatest degree of independence. This is because the Board of Directors is the highest governing body of the organization and has the authority and responsibility to oversee the ethical conduct and performance of the organization and its management1 Reporting to the Board of Directors would enable the ethics officer to avoid any potential conflicts of interest or undue influence from other senior executives or managers who may have a stake in the ethical issues or decisions that the ethics office handles2 Reporting to the Board of Directors would also enhance the credibility and legitimacy of the ethics office and its recommendations, as well as demonstrate the organization's commitment to ethical values and culture3 The other options are not as suitable as reporting to the Board of Directors for retaining the greatest degree of independence for the ethics office. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer may create a conflict of interest or a perception of bias if the ethical issues or decisions involve financial matters or implications4 Reporting to the Human Resources Director may limit the scope or authority of the ethics office to deal with ethical issues or decisions that go beyond human resources policies or practices5 Reporting to the organization's General Counsel may blur the distinction or create confusion between legal compliance and ethical conduct, as well as raise concerns about attorney-client privilege or confidentiality6 References: 1: Board Responsibilities | BoardSource; 2: Ethics Officer: Job Description, Duties and Requirements; 3: The Role Of The Ethics And Compliance Officer In The 21st Century | Corporate Compliance Insights; 4: Ethics Officer: Job Description, Duties and Requirements; 5: Ethics Officer: Job Description, Duties and Requirements; 6: Ethics Officer: Job Description, Duties and Requirements

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?
How can Consolidated's privacy training program best be further developed?
- A. Through targeted curricula designed for specific departments.
- B. By using industry standard off-the-shelf programs.
- C. Through a review of recent data breaches.
- D. By adopting e-learning to reduce the need for instructors.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 29
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.
Which of Anton's plans for improving the data management of the company is most unachievable?
- A. His objective for zero loss of personal information.
- B. His initiative to achieve regulatory compliance.
- C. His intention to transition to electronic storage.
- D. His intention to send notice letters to customers and employees.
Answer: A
Explanation:
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 industry4 Even 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 information5 Therefore, 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 manner6 References: 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
NEW QUESTION # 30
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
Natalia, CFO of the Nationwide Grill restaurant chain, had never seen her fellow executives so anxious. Last week, a data processing firm used by the company reported that its system may have been hacked, and customer data such as names, addresses, and birthdays may have been compromised. Although the attempt was proven unsuccessful, the scare has prompted several Nationwide Grill executives to Question the company's privacy program at today's meeting.
Alice, a vice president, said that the incident could have opened the door to lawsuits, potentially damaging Nationwide Grill's market position. The Chief Information Officer (CIO), Brendan, tried to assure her that even if there had been an actual breach, the chances of a successful suit against the company were slim. But Alice remained unconvinced.
Spencer - a former CEO and currently a senior advisor - said that he had always warned against the use of contractors for data processing. At the very least, he argued, they should be held contractually liable for telling customers about any security incidents. In his view, Nationwide Grill should not be forced to soil the company name for a problem it did not cause.
One of the business development (BD) executives, Haley, then spoke, imploring everyone to see reason.
"Breaches can happen, despite organizations' best efforts," she remarked. "Reasonable preparedness is key." She reminded everyone of the incident seven years ago when the large grocery chain Tinkerton's had its financial information compromised after a large order of Nationwide Grill frozen dinners. As a long-time BD executive with a solid understanding of Tinkerton's's corporate culture, built up through many years of cultivating relationships, Haley was able to successfully manage the company's incident response.
Spencer replied that acting with reason means allowing security to be handled by the security functions within the company - not BD staff. In a similar way, he said, Human Resources (HR) needs to do a better job training employees to prevent incidents. He pointed out that Nationwide Grill employees are overwhelmed with posters, emails, and memos from both HR and the ethics department related to the company's privacy program. Both the volume and the duplication of information means that it is often ignored altogether.
Spencer said, "The company needs to dedicate itself to its privacy program and set regular in-person trainings for all staff once a month." Alice responded that the suggestion, while well-meaning, is not practical. With many locations, local HR departments need to have flexibility with their training schedules. Silently, Natalia agreed.
Based on the scenario, Nationwide Grill needs to create better employee awareness of the company's privacy program by doing what?
- A. Requiring acknowledgment of company memos.
- B. Communicating to the staff more often.
- C. Improving inter-departmental cooperation.
- D. Varying the modes of communication.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 31
Formosa International operates in 20 different countries including the United States and France. What organizational approach would make complying with a number of different regulations easier?
- A. Fair Information Practices.
- B. Decentralized privacy management.
- C. Data mapping.
- D. Rationalizing requirements.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Rationalizing requirements is an organizational approach that involves identifying and harmonizing the common elements of different privacy regulations and standards. This can make compliance easier and more efficient, as well as reduce the risk of conflicts or gaps in privacy protection. Rationalizing requirements can also help to create a consistent privacy policy and culture across different jurisdictions and business units. References: CIPM Study Guide, page 23.
