IAPP CIPM Practice Test 22
Question 210
A privacy program manager faces this situation: A pharmacy portal accepts an impossible date of birth during enrollment. Which operational step would BEST implement the right approach? Select ONE best answer.
- Add suitable validation and a documented correction path
- Provide scenario-based guidance on consent, harm, review and executive escalation
- Train staff on source legitimacy, notice obligations and approved contact practices
- Assign legal monitoring, applicability assessment and controlled policy update
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Add suitable validation and a documented correction path is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: Inaccurate input data can cause downstream individual harm and unreliable privacy responses.
Incorrect Answers
B:Provide scenario-based guidance on consent, harm, review and executive escalation concerns Executive and manager privacy awareness, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Add suitable validation and a documented correction path. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Inaccurate input data can cause downstream individual harm and unreliable privacy responses. The case should be checked through this outcome: Bad dates are flagged before affecting identity decisions.
C:Train staff on source legitimacy, notice obligations and approved contact practices concerns Risk-focused employee privacy training, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Add suitable validation and a documented correction path. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Inaccurate input data can cause downstream individual harm and unreliable privacy responses. The case should be checked through this outcome: Bad dates are flagged before affecting identity decisions.
D:That option would assign legal monitoring, applicability assessment and controlled policy update, but it addresses a different concern. Inaccurate input data can cause downstream individual harm and unreliable privacy responses.
