  3. The resulting organizational chart identifies who approves shared privacy controls
  4. Staff can locate guidance before sharing contact details

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The resulting organizational chart identifies who approves shared privacy controls is the best observable verification result. The governing consideration is: Governance structure determines escalation, consistency and the assignment of authority.

The case should be checked through this outcome: The resulting organizational chart identifies who approves shared privacy controls.

B:

The best selection is: The resulting organizational chart identifies who approves shared privacy controls. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Governance structure determines escalation, consistency and the assignment of authority. The case should be checked through this outcome: The resulting organizational chart identifies who approves shared privacy controls.

D:

Staff can locate guidance before sharing contact details concerns Policy discovery for front-line employees, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The resulting organizational chart identifies who approves shared privacy controls. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Governance structure determines escalation, consistency and the assignment of authority. The case should be checked through this outcome: The resulting organizational chart identifies who approves shared privacy controls.
