Correct Answer: D
Question 17
Which of the following is the BEST way for senior management to verify the success of its commitment to privacy by design?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation A third-party privacy control assessment is an independent and objective evaluation of the design and effectiveness of the privacy controls implemented by an organization to protect personal data and comply with privacy laws and regulations. A third-party privacy control assessment can help senior management to verify the success of its commitment to privacy by design, by providing the following benefits: * It can measure the extent to which the organization has adopted and integrated the principles and practices of privacy by design throughout its products, services, processes and systems. * It can identify the strengths and weaknesses of the organization's privacy governance, policies, procedures, standards and guidelines, and provide recommendations for improvement. * It can validate the organization's compliance with the applicable privacy requirements and expectations of its customers, stakeholders, regulators and auditors. * It can enhance the organization's reputation and trustworthiness as a responsible and transparent data controller and processor. The other options are less effective or irrelevant for verifying the success of the commitment to privacy by design. Reviewing the findings of an industry benchmarking assessment may provide some insights into how the organization compares with its peers or competitors in terms of privacy performance, but it may not reflect the specific privacy goals, risks and challenges of the organization. Identifying trends in the organization's amount of compromised personal data or number of privacy incidents may indicate some aspects of the organization's privacy maturity, but they are reactive and lagging indicators that do not capture the proactive and preventive nature of privacy by design. Moreover, these metrics may not account for other factors that may influence the occurrence or impact of data breaches or privacy violations, such as external threats, human errors or environmental changes.

It mandates that any system, process or infrastructure that uses personal data consider privacy throughout its development life cycle." * Privacy Control Assessment - ISACA, section 1: "A Privacy Control Assessment (PCA) is an independent evaluation performed by a qualified assessor to determine whether an entity's controls are suitably designed and operating effectively to meet its objectives related to protecting personal information." * Privacy by Design: The New Competitive Advantage - ISACA, section 2: "Privacy by design is a proactive approach to embedding privacy into the design specifications of various technologies, business practices and networked infrastructure."
Question 18
Which of the following is the MOST important consideration when using advanced data sanitization methods to ensure privacy data will be unrecoverable?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation Data sanitization is a process of permanently erasing or destroying data from a storage device or media to prevent unauthorized access or recovery of the data. Data sanitization methods can include physical destruction, degaussing, overwriting, encryption or cryptographic erasure. The most important consideration when using advanced data sanitization methods to ensure privacy data will be unrecoverable is the type of media on which the data is stored, as different media types may require different methods or techniques to achieve effective sanitization. For example, physical destruction may be suitable for optical disks or tapes, but not for solid state drives (SSDs) or flash memory devices. Degaussing may be effective for magnetic disks or tapes, but not for optical disks or SSDs. Overwriting may work for hard disk drives (HDDs) or SSDs, but not for tapes or optical disks. Encryption or cryptographic erasure may be applicable for any media type, but may require additional security measures to protect the encryption keys or certificates. The other options are not as important as the type of media when using advanced data sanitization methods. Subject matter expertise may be helpful, but not essential, as long as the appropriate method is selected and applied correctly. Regulatory compliance requirements may influence the choice of method, but not necessarily determine it, as different methods may meet different standards or criteria. Location of data may affect the feasibility or cost of applying a method, but not its effectiveness or suitability., p. 93-94 References: : CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version)
Question 19
Which of the following should be of GREATEST concern when an organization wants to store personal data in the cloud?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation The organization's potential legal liabilities related to the data should be of greatest concern when an organization wants to store personal data in the cloud, as it may expose the organization to various compliance risks, such as data breach notification laws, data protection regulations, data sovereignty laws, and contractual obligations. The organization should ensure that the cloud storage provider complies with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and that the organization retains control and ownership of the data. The organization should also conduct due diligence and risk assessment of the cloud storage provider before entering into a contract. References: 2 Domain 2, Task 9; 4
Question 20
Which of the following vulnerabilities would have the GREATEST impact on the privacy of information?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation The vulnerability that would have the greatest impact on the privacy of information is private key exposure, because it would compromise the encryption and decryption of the information, as well as the authentication and integrity of the communicating parties. A private key is a secret and unique value that is used to encrypt or decrypt data, or to sign or verify digital signatures. If an attacker gains access to the private key, they can read, modify, or impersonate the data or the sender, which would violate the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the information12.
