Question 50

A privacy program manager faces this situation: A rapidly growing retailer appoints its first dedicated privacy program manager. Which operational step would BEST implement the right approach? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Document executive sponsor, privacy office, legal, IT and business accountability
  2. Place approved guidance in the support knowledge base with version control
  3. Assign local privacy leads while maintaining enterprise issue reporting and policy minimums
  4. Compare service commitments with actual data lifecycle controls

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Document executive sponsor, privacy office, legal, IT and business accountability is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: Team structure should support decision rights and measurable oversight rather than job titles alone.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Place approved guidance in the support knowledge base with version control concerns Policy discovery for front-line employees, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Document executive sponsor, privacy office, legal, IT and business accountability. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Team structure should support decision rights and measurable oversight rather than job titles alone. The case should be checked through this outcome: The operating charter assigns named decision owners and reporting lines.

C:

That option would assign local privacy leads while maintaining enterprise issue reporting and policy minimums, but it addresses a different concern. Team structure should support decision rights and measurable oversight rather than job titles alone.

D:

That option would compare service commitments with actual data lifecycle controls, but it addresses a different concern. Team structure should support decision rights and measurable oversight rather than job titles alone.

Question 51

A privacy program manager faces this situation: A rapidly growing retailer appoints its first dedicated privacy program manager. Which governing privacy principle BEST explains the right course of action? Select ONE best answer.

  3. Privacy obligations span procurement, engineering, HR, security, marketing and operations
  4. Distributed delivery needs explicit central standards to avoid divergent privacy controls

Explanation

Correct Answer
