An organization wants to ensure that endpoints are protected in line with the privacy policy. Which of the following should be the FIRST consideration?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation The first consideration for ensuring that endpoints are protected in line with the privacy policy is hardening the operating systems of endpoint devices. Hardening is a process of applying security configurations and controls to reduce the attack surface and vulnerabilities of an operating system. Hardening can include disabling unnecessary services and features, applying security patches and updates, enforcing strong passwords and encryption, configuring firewall and antivirus settings, and implementing least privilege principles. Hardening the operating systems of endpoint devices can help prevent unauthorized access, data leakage, malware infection, or other threats that may compromise the privacy of personal data stored or processed on those devices. Detecting malicious access through endpoints, implementing network traffic filtering on endpoint devices, and managing remote access and control are also important aspects of endpoint security, but they are not the first consideration. Rather, they are dependent on or complementary to hardening the operating systems of endpoint devices. For example, detecting malicious access requires having a baseline of normal activity and behavior on the endpoint device, which can be established by hardening. Implementing network traffic filtering requires having a firewall or other network security tool installed and configured on the endpoint device, which is part of hardening. Managing remote access and control requires having authentication and authorization mechanisms in place on the endpoint device, which is also part of hardening.

Question 87
Which of the following is MOST important to consider when managing changes to the provision of services by a third party that processes personal data?
Correct Answer: C
The most important thing to consider when managing changes to the provision of services by a third party that processes personal data is the business impact due to the changes. Changes to the provision of services by a third party can affect the organization's ability to meet its business objectives and legal obligations related to data processing activities. For example, changes to the service level agreement (SLA), the scope of services, the security measures, the location of servers, etc., can have implications for the quality, availability, confidentiality, integrity, and compliance of personal data processing. Therefore, an IT privacy practitioner should assess and evaluate the business impact due to the changes, and ensure that they are aligned with the organization's privacy policies and applicable privacy regulations and standards.

Question 88
Which of the following is the MOST important consideration for determining the operational life of an encryption key?
Correct Answer: C
The most important consideration for determining the operational life of an encryption key is the volume and sensitivity of data protected by the key. The operational life of an encryption key is the period of time during which the key can be used securely and effectively to encrypt and decrypt data. The operational life of an encryption key depends on various factors, such as the length and complexity of the key, the strength and speed of the encryption algorithm, the number and frequency of encryption operations, the number of entities involved in communication, and the number of digitally signed documents in force. However, among these factors, the volume and sensitivity of data protected by the key is the most critical, as it affects the risk and impact of a potential compromise or exposure of the key. The higher the volume and sensitivity of data protected by the key, the shorter the operational life of the key should be, as this reduces the window of opportunity for an attacker to access or misuse the data.
Question 89
Which of the following BEST represents privacy threat modeling methodology?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation Privacy threat modeling is a methodology for identifying and mitigating privacy threats in a software architecture. It helps to ensure that privacy is considered in the design and development of software systems, and that privacy risks are minimized or eliminated. Privacy threat modeling typically involves the following steps: defining the scope and context of the system, identifying the data flows and data elements, identifying the privacy threats and their sources, assessing the impact and likelihood of the threats, and applying appropriate countermeasures to mitigate the threats.

Question 90
An organization plans to implement a new cloud-based human resources (HR) solution with a mobile application interface. Which of the following is the BEST control to prevent data leakage?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation The best control to prevent data leakage for a cloud-based HR solution with a mobile application interface is to disable the download of data to the mobile devices. This is because downloading data to the mobile devices increases the risk of data loss, theft, or unauthorized access, especially if the devices are lost, stolen, or compromised. Disabling the download of data to the mobile devices ensures that the data remains in the cloud-based solution, where it can be protected by encryption, access control, and other security measures. The other options are not as effective or sufficient as disabling the download of data to the mobile devices, as they do not address the root cause of the data leakage risk, which is the exposure of data outside the cloud-based solution.
