Question 580
A privacy program manager faces this situation: A sales analyst attempts to export full customer payment tokens to a personal drive. Which evidence would MOST convincingly demonstrate that the response worked? Select ONE best answer.
- Only justified privileged access remains and anomalous activity is reviewed
- Reviewers can perform assigned work but cannot alter restricted fields
- The control plan addresses both unauthorized access and excessive internal use
- The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged is the best observable verification result. The governing consideration is: A written data policy is not sufficient when system permissions allow contradictory behavior.
Incorrect Answers
A:Only justified privileged access remains and anomalous activity is reviewed concerns Privileged access monitoring and periodic review, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged. The differentiating privacy consideration is: A written data policy is not sufficient when system permissions allow contradictory behavior. The case should be checked through this outcome: The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged.
B:Reviewers can perform assigned work but cannot alter restricted fields concerns Role-based access to personal information, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged. The differentiating privacy consideration is: A written data policy is not sufficient when system permissions allow contradictory behavior. The case should be checked through this outcome: The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged.
C:The control plan addresses both unauthorized access and excessive internal use concerns Security control selection and risk treatment, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result. The best selection is: The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged. The differentiating privacy consideration is: A written data policy is not sufficient when system permissions allow contradictory behavior. The case should be checked through this outcome: The analyst's unauthorized export is prevented and logged.
Question 581
During an organizational privacy control review, the following issue arises: A customer portal publishes a report containing sensitive account numbers. What is the MOST defensible initial program decision for this case? Choose ONE.
- Implement proportionate controls across storage, transmission and disposal phases
