IAPP CIPM Practice Test 52
Question 510
During an organizational privacy control review, the following issue arises: A university grants a temporary assistant broad access to student disciplinary history. What should the responsible team SPECIFICALLY do to execute that decision? Choose ONE.
- Add data minimization, access and audit tests to the CI release checklist
- Verify field-level permissions and applicable masking before publishing
- Label the export to reflect the most sensitive contained information
- Review required tasks and remove unrelated dataset permissions
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Review required tasks and remove unrelated dataset permissions is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: Access restriction must be reflected in actual system permissions and role changes.
Incorrect Answers
A:That option would add data minimization, access and audit tests to the CI release checklist, but it addresses a different concern. Access restriction must be reflected in actual system permissions and role changes.
B:That option would verify field-level permissions and applicable masking before publishing, but it addresses a different concern. Access restriction must be reflected in actual system permissions and role changes.
C:Label the export to reflect the most sensitive contained information concerns Personal data classification and handling rules, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Review required tasks and remove unrelated dataset permissions. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Access restriction must be reflected in actual system permissions and role changes. The case should be checked through this outcome: The assistant can process authorized records without unrestricted access.
