Question 220

A privacy program manager faces this situation: A software company discovers an unauthorized export from its customer analytics platform. Which evidence would MOST convincingly demonstrate that the response worked? Select ONE best answer.

  1. The audit identifies real processing failures or demonstrates control operation
  2. The operating policy matches the public promise
  3. The incident has named owners and preserved decision records
  4. The incident timeline shows each decision and its authorized owner

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The incident has named owners and preserved decision records is the best observable verification result. The governing consideration is: Defined handoffs prevent technical containment work from omitting legal and notification analysis.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The audit identifies real processing failures or demonstrates control operation concerns Privacy audit scope and effectiveness measurement, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The incident has named owners and preserved decision records. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Defined handoffs prevent technical containment work from omitting legal and notification analysis. The case should be checked through this outcome: The incident has named owners and preserved decision records.

B:

The operating policy matches the public promise concerns Privacy notice and internal policy alignment, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The incident has named owners and preserved decision records. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Defined handoffs prevent technical containment work from omitting legal and notification analysis. The case should be checked through this outcome: The incident has named owners and preserved decision records.

D:

The incident timeline shows each decision and its authorized owner concerns Incident functional accountability and handoffs, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The incident has named owners and preserved decision records. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Defined handoffs prevent technical containment work from omitting legal and notification analysis. The case should be checked through this outcome: The incident has named owners and preserved decision records.

Question 221

  2. Document an incident response playbook with triage, escalation, evidence handling and privacy decision owners
  3. Create record-specific retention rules and disposal procedures with accountable owners
  4. Plan audits that test whether privacy controls operate as documented rather than merely existing on paper

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:
