Question 430

During an organizational privacy control review, the following issue arises: A mobile app stores precise location events past the approved operational window. What should the responsible team SPECIFICALLY do to execute that decision? Choose ONE.

  1. Check storage lifecycle jobs and investigate unexpired old partitions
  2. Require a remediation plan, compensating safeguards and a follow-up date
  3. Review effective consent semantics and technical propagation before integration
  4. Check media sanitization and chain-of-custody evidence before release

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Check storage lifecycle jobs and investigate unexpired old partitions is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: A retention schedule only works when technical and organizational controls implement it.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Require a remediation plan, compensating safeguards and a follow-up date concerns Supplier assurance evidence and follow-up, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Check storage lifecycle jobs and investigate unexpired old partitions. The differentiating privacy consideration is: A retention schedule only works when technical and organizational controls implement it. The case should be checked through this outcome: The system deletes eligible locations and reports outstanding exceptions.

C:

That option would review effective consent semantics and technical propagation before integration, but it addresses a different concern. A retention schedule only works when technical and organizational controls implement it.

D:

That option would check media sanitization and chain-of-custody evidence before release, but it addresses a different concern. A retention schedule only works when technical and organizational controls implement it.

Question 431
