Which of the following is a PRIMARY objective of performing a privacy impact assessment (PIA) prior to onboarding a new Software as a Service (SaaS) provider for a customer relationship management (CRM) system?
Correct Answer: A
A primary objective of performing a privacy impact assessment (PIA) prior to onboarding a new Software as a Service (SaaS) provider for a customer relationship management (CRM) system is to identify controls to mitigate data privacy risks, such as data breaches, unauthorized access, misuse or loss of data. A PIA would help to evaluate the potential privacy impacts of using a new SaaS provider for CRM data processing activities, such as collecting, storing, analyzing or transferring customer data, and to implement appropriate controls to mitigate those impacts, such as encryption, access control, backup, audit trail or contractual clauses. A PIA would also help to ensure compliance with privacy principles, laws and regulations, and alignment with customer expectations and preferences. The other options are not primary objectives of performing a PIA prior to onboarding a new SaaS provider for CRM data processing activities. Classifying personal data according to the data classification scheme is an activity that may be part of a PIA process, but it is not an objective in itself. Assessing the risk associated with personal data usage is an activity that may be part of a PIA process, but it is not an objective in itself. Determining the service provider's ability to maintain data protection controls is an activity that may be part of a PIA process, but it is not an objective in itself1, p. 67 Reference: 1: CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version)

Correct Answer: D
Question 133
Which of the following is the BEST way to distinguish between a privacy risk and compliance risk?
Correct Answer: B
A privacy risk assessment is a process of identifying, analyzing and evaluating the privacy risks associated with the collection, use, disclosure or retention of personal data. A privacy risk assessment is the best way to distinguish between a privacy risk and compliance risk, as it would help to determine the likelihood and impact of privacy incidents or breaches that could affect the rights and interests of the data subjects, as well as the legal obligations and responsibilities of the organization. A privacy risk assessment would also help to identify and implement appropriate controls and measures to mitigate or reduce the privacy risks and ensure compliance with privacy principles, laws and regulations. The other options are not as effective as conducting a privacy risk assessment in distinguishing between a privacy risk and compliance risk. Performing a privacy risk audit is a process of verifying and validating the effectiveness and adequacy of the privacy controls and measures implemented by the organization, but it does not necessarily identify or evaluate the privacy risks or compliance risks. Validating a privacy risk attestation is a process of confirming and certifying the accuracy and completeness of the privacy information or statements provided by the organization, but it does not necessarily identify or evaluate the privacy risks or compliance risks. Conducting a privacy risk remediation exercise is a process of implementing corrective actions or improvements to address the identified or reported privacy risks or compliance risks, but it does not necessarily distinguish between them1, p. 66-67 Reference: 1: CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version)
Question 134
Which of the following is MOST important when developing an organizational data privacy program?
Correct Answer: C
Following an established privacy framework is the most important step when developing an organizational data privacy program because it provides a structured and consistent approach to identify, assess, and manage privacy risks and compliance obligations. A privacy framework can also help to align the privacy program with the organization's strategic goals, values, and culture, as well as to communicate and demonstrate the privacy program's effectiveness to internal and external stakeholders. Some examples of established privacy frameworks are the NIST Privacy Framework, the ISO/IEC 27701:2019, and the AICPA Privacy Maturity Model. Reference: NIST Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy through Enterprise Risk Management, NIST ISO/IEC 27701:2019 Security techniques - Extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 for privacy information management - Requirements and guidelines, ISO Privacy Maturity Model, AICPA
Question 135
The BEST way for a multinational organization to ensure the comprehensiveness of its data privacy policy is to perform an annual review of changes to privacy regulations in.
Correct Answer: B
A multinational organization that operates across different countries and regions should perform an annual review of changes to privacy regulations in all jurisdictions where its corporate data is processed. This is because different jurisdictions may have different privacy laws and requirements that apply to the collection, use, storage, transfer, and disposal of personal dat a. For example, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any organization that processes personal data of individuals in the EU, regardless of where the organization is located or where the data is processed. Therefore, the organization should keep track of the changes to privacy regulations in all relevant jurisdictions and update its data privacy policy accordingly to ensure compliance and avoid penalties or lawsuits.
