Question 480
During an organizational privacy control review, the following issue arises: A customer help desk creates exports combining public product codes and billing contacts. What verification outcome is MOST relevant to demonstrating success? Choose ONE.
- Only intended masked or authorized information is visible
- The release applies aggregation and suppression safeguards where necessary
- The exported file receives authorized restricted handling
- Access grants match active role authorizations
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:The exported file receives authorized restricted handling is the best observable verification result. The governing consideration is: Different data classes need safeguards that reflect exposure and the likely effect on individuals.
Incorrect Answers
A:Only intended masked or authorized information is visible concerns Effective enforcement of data use restrictions, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The exported file receives authorized restricted handling. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Different data classes need safeguards that reflect exposure and the likely effect on individuals. The case should be checked through this outcome: The exported file receives authorized restricted handling.
B:The release applies aggregation and suppression safeguards where necessary concerns Classification inheritance in derived datasets, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The exported file receives authorized restricted handling. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Different data classes need safeguards that reflect exposure and the likely effect on individuals. The case should be checked through this outcome: The exported file receives authorized restricted handling.
D:Access grants match active role authorizations concerns Privileged access monitoring and periodic review, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The exported file receives authorized restricted handling. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Different data classes need safeguards that reflect exposure and the likely effect on individuals. The case should be checked through this outcome: The exported file receives authorized restricted handling.
Question 481
A privacy program manager faces this situation: A marketing team hashes email addresses before sharing purchase histories with an outside analyst. Which management decision MOST directly addresses the requirement? Select ONE best answer.
- Implement least-privilege access linked to job need and periodically review effective grants
