Which of the following is the BEST way to address privacy concerns when an organization captures personal data from a third party through an open application programming interface (API)?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation The best way to address privacy concerns when an organization captures personal data from a third party through an open application programming interface (API) is to obtain consent from the data subjects. Consent is a freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they agree to the processing of their personal data by the organization for a defined purpose. Consent is one of the legal bases for processing personal data under various privacy laws and regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Obtaining consent from the data subjects can help ensure that they are aware of and agree to the collection and use of their personal data by the organization through the open API. Obtaining consent can also help respect the data subject's rights and preferences regarding their personal data. Developing a service level agreement (SLA) with the third party, implementing encryption for the data transmission, or reviewing the specification document of the open API are also good practices for addressing privacy concerns when using an open API to capture personal data from a third party, but they are not the best way. Developing an SLA with the third party can help define the roles, responsibilities, expectations, and obligations of both parties regarding the provision and use of the open API and the personal data involved. Implementing encryption for the data transmission can help protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the personal data transferred between the third party and the organization through the open API. Reviewing the specification document of the open API can help understand the functionality, features, parameters, or requirements of the open API and how it handles personal data.

Question 112
When evaluating cloud-based services for backup, which of the following is MOST important to consider from a privacy regulation standpoint?
Correct Answer: A
Question 113
Which of the following processes BEST enables an organization to maintain the quality of personal data?
Correct Answer: D
Question 114
Which of the following is the best reason for a health organization to use desktop virtualization to implement stronger access control to systems containing patient records?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation The best reason for a health organization to use desktop virtualization to implement stronger access control to systems containing patient records is that it can improve data integrity and reduce effort for privacy audits. Desktop virtualization is a technology that allows users to access a virtual desktop environment that is hosted on a remote server, rather than on their local device. Desktop virtualization can enhance data privacy by providing stronger access control to systems containing patient records, such as requiring authentication, authorization, encryption, logging, etc. Desktop virtualization can also improve data integrity by ensuring that patient records are stored and processed in a centralized and secure location, rather than on multiple devices that may be vulnerable to loss, theft, damage, or corruption. Desktop virtualization can also reduce effort for privacy audits by simplifying the management and monitoring of data privacy compliance across different devices and locations.

Question 115
Which of the following principles is MOST important to apply when granting access to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that contains a significant amount of personal data?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation The principle of least privilege is the most important principle to apply when granting access to an ERP system that contains a significant amount of personal data. The principle of least privilege states that users should only have the minimum level of access and permissions necessary to perform their legitimate tasks and functions, and no more. Applying the principle of least privilege helps to protect the privacy and security of the personal data in the ERP system, as it reduces the risk of unauthorized or inappropriate access, disclosure, modification, or deletion of the data. It also helps to comply with the privacy laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, that require data controllers and processors to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
