Question 490
A privacy program manager faces this situation: A retailer stores customer identity documents in a cloud object store with many service accounts. Which operational step would BEST implement the right approach? Select ONE best answer.
- Combine access scoping, encryption, logging and retention protections
- Redesign verification steps and visible screens to reduce unnecessary exposure
- Classify each field set and apply approved storage and disclosure requirements

Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Combine access scoping, encryption, logging and retention protections is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: No single control eliminates every access, disclosure, retention or misuse risk.
Incorrect Answers
B:Redesign verification steps and visible screens to reduce unnecessary exposure concerns Privacy reviews in business process design, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step.
