Question 630

During an organizational privacy control review, the following issue arises: A retailer's deletion procedure has failed two consecutive sample tests. What should the responsible team SPECIFICALLY do to execute that decision? Choose ONE.

  1. Compare classification accuracy, escalation timing and substantively resolved cases
  2. Schedule a focused follow-up review with clear evidence requests
  3. Consider whether an LIA and broader processing impact review are appropriate
  4. Track containment performance and severity alongside count trends

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Schedule a focused follow-up review with clear evidence requests is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: Audits should target operational evidence where failure would have meaningful impact.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That option would compare classification accuracy, escalation timing and substantively resolved cases, but it addresses a different concern. Audits should target operational evidence where failure would have meaningful impact.

C:

Consider whether an LIA and broader processing impact review are appropriate concerns Choosing DPIA PIA TIA LIA and PTA methods, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Schedule a focused follow-up review with clear evidence requests. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Audits should target operational evidence where failure would have meaningful impact. The case should be checked through this outcome: The plan escalates recurrent failure rather than resetting the issue as closed.

D:

Track containment performance and severity alongside count trends concerns Data breach metrics and incident trend interpretation, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Schedule a focused follow-up review with clear evidence requests. The differentiating privacy consideration is: Audits should target operational evidence where failure would have meaningful impact. The case should be checked through this outcome: The plan escalates recurrent failure rather than resetting the issue as closed.

Question 631

  1. Different assessment tools address processing impacts, transfers, legitimate interests or security threats
  2. Effective audit closure requires proof that the relevant processing deficiency was remediated
  3. Privacy assessments are most effective when decisions can still change the design
  4. Audits should target operational evidence where failure would have meaningful impact

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A suitable result to verify is: The plan escalates recurrent failure rather than resetting the issue as closed.

Incorrect Answers

A:
