Question 270

During an organizational privacy control review, the following issue arises: A payroll processor learns of a possible intrusion through a hosting subcontractor. What should the responsible team SPECIFICALLY do to execute that decision? Choose ONE.

  1. Publish enterprise accountability with local implementation responsibilities
  2. Train on data protection due diligence and required legal approvals
  3. Use designated vendor liaison and privacy decision owners for the response
  4. Apply a formal escalation path to the central privacy sponsor

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Use designated vendor liaison and privacy decision owners for the response is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: Incident decisions often span several functions and require predictable ownership.

A:

Publish enterprise accountability with local implementation responsibilities concerns Formal privacy program operating charter, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Use designated vendor liaison and privacy decision owners for the response. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Incident decisions often span several functions and require predictable ownership. The case should be checked through this outcome: Contract and technical actions are tracked with clear accountability.

B:

The best selection is: Use designated vendor liaison and privacy decision owners for the response. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Incident decisions often span several functions and require predictable ownership. The case should be checked through this outcome: Contract and technical actions are tracked with clear accountability.

D:

That option would apply a formal escalation path to the central privacy sponsor, but it addresses a different concern. Incident decisions often span several functions and require predictable ownership.
