A data processor that handles personal data tor multiple customers has decided to migrate its data warehouse to a third-party provider. What is the processor obligated to do prior to implementation?
Correct Answer: A
A data processor that handles personal data for multiple customers has decided to migrate its data warehouse to a third-party provider. The processor is obligated to seek approval from all in-scope data controllers prior to implementation. A data controller is an entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal dat a. A data processor is an entity that processes personal data on behalf of a data controller. A third-party provider is an entity that provides services or resources to another entity, such as a cloud service provider or a hosting provider. According to various privacy laws and regulations, such as the GDPR or the CCPA, a data processor must obtain explicit consent from the data controller before engaging another processor or transferring personal data to a third country or an international organization. The consent must specify the identity of the other processor or the third country or international organization, as well as the safeguards and guarantees for the protection of personal data. The consent must also be documented in a written contract or other legal act that binds the processor to respect the same obligations as the controller. Seeking approval from all in-scope data controllers can help ensure that the processor complies with its contractual and legal obligations, respects the rights and preferences of the data subjects, and maintains transparency and accountability for its processing activities. Obtaining assurance that data subject requests will continue to be handled appropriately, implementing comparable industry-standard data encryption in the new data warehouse, or ensuring data retention periods are documented are also good practices for a data processor that migrates its data warehouse to a third-party provider, but they are not obligations prior to implementation. Rather, they are requirements or recommendations during or after implementation. Obtaining assurance that data subject requests will continue to be handled appropriately is a requirement for a data processor that processes personal data on behalf of a data controller. Data subject requests are requests made by individuals to exercise their rights regarding their personal data, such as access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or objection. A data processor must assist the data controller in fulfilling these requests within a reasonable time frame and without undue delay. Implementing comparable industry-standard data encryption in the new data warehouse is a recommendation for a data processor that transfers personal data to another system or location. Data encryption is a process of transforming data into an unreadable form using a secret key or algorithm. Data encryption can help protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data by preventing unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. Ensuring data retention periods are documented is a requirement for a data processor that stores personal data on behalf of a data controller. Data retention periods are the durations for which personal data are kept before they are deleted or anonymized. Data retention periods must be determined by the purpose and necessity of processing personal data and must comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Question 177
When can data subjects be prohibited from withdrawing consent for processing their personal data?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), data subjects have the right to withdraw their consent for processing their personal data at any time. However, this right does not apply when the processing is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR1. References: 1: Article 7(3) and Article 89(1) of the GDPR
Question 178
Which of the following technologies BEST facilitates protection of personal data?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation Data loss prevention (DLP) tools are technologies that help to prevent unauthorized access, use, or transfer of personal data. DLP tools can monitor, detect, and block data leakage or exfiltration from various sources, such as endpoints, networks, cloud services, or email. DLP tools can also enforce data protection policies and compliance requirements, such as encryption, masking, or deletion of sensitive data. DLP tools can help to protect personal data from both internal and external threats, such as malicious insiders, hackers, or accidental exposure.

Question 179
When configuring information systems for the communication and transport of personal data, an organization should:
Correct Answer: B
Reference: When configuring information systems for the communication and transport of personal data, an organization should review configuration settings for compliance with privacy regulations and standards. This means that the organization should ensure that the configuration settings are aligned with the privacy principles and requirements that apply to the data being communicated or transported, such as data minimization, purpose limitation, consent, encryption, pseudonymization, anonymization, etc. The organization should also document and monitor the configuration settings and perform regular audits and reviews to verify their effectiveness and compliance.

Question 180
During the design of a role-based user access model for a new application, which of the following principles is MOST important to ensure data privacy is protected?
Correct Answer: D
The need-to-know basis principle is a security principle that states that access to personal data should be limited to those who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. The need-to-know basis principle helps to protect data privacy by minimizing the exposure of personal data to unauthorized or unnecessary parties, reducing the risk of data breaches, leaks, or misuse. The need-to-know basis principle should be applied when designing a role-based user access model for a new application, by defining clear roles and responsibilities for different users, granting access rights based on their roles and functions, and enforcing access controls and audits to monitor and verify data access.
