Question 2

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Perhaps Jack Kelly should have stayed in the U.S. He enjoys a formidable reputation inside the company,

Special Handling Shipping, for his work in reforming certain "rogue" offices. Last year, news broke that a police

sting operation had revealed a drug ring operating in the Providence, Rhode Island office in the United States.

Video from the office's video surveillance cameras leaked to news operations showed a drug exchange

between Special Handling staff and undercover officers.

In the wake of this incident, Kelly had been sent to Providence to change the "hands off" culture that upper

management believed had let the criminal elements conduct their illicit transactions. After a few weeks under

Kelly's direction, the office became a model of efficiency and customer service. Kelly monitored his workers'

activities using the same cameras that had recorded the illegal conduct of their former co-workers.

Now Kelly has been charged with turning around the office in Cork, Ireland, another trouble spot. The company

has received numerous reports of the staff leaving the office unattended. When Kelly arrived, he found that

even when present, the staff often spent their days socializing or conducting personal business on their mobile

phones. Again, he observed their behaviors using surveillance cameras. He issued written reprimands to six

staff members based on the first day of video alone.

Much to Kelly's surprise and chagrin, he and the company are now under investigation by the Data Protection

Commissioner of Ireland for allegedly violating the privacy rights of employees. Kelly was told that the

company's license for the cameras listed facility security as their main use, but he does not know why this

matters. He has pointed out to his superiors that the company's training programs on privacy protection and

data collection mention nothing about surveillance video.

You are a privacy protection consultant, hired by the company to assess this incident, report on the legal and

compliance issues, and recommend next steps.

What should you advise this company regarding the status of security cameras at their offices in the United

States?

A : security cameras at facilities that are now without them

B : t policies about the purpose and use of the security cameras

C : duce the number of security cameras located inside the building.

D : trict access to surveillance video taken by the security cameras and destroy the recordings after a designated period of time

Answer: B

Question 3

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Henry Home Furnishings has built high-end furniture for nearly forty years. However, the new owner, Anton, has

found some degree of disorganization after touring the company headquarters. His uncle Henry had always

focused on production – not data processing – and Anton is concerned. In several storage rooms, he has found

paper files, disks, and old computers that appear to contain the personal data of current and former employees

and customers. Anton knows that a single break-in could irrevocably damage the company's relationship with

its loyal customers. He intends to set a goal of guaranteed zero loss of personal information.

To this end, Anton originally planned to place restrictions on who was admitted to the physical premises of the

company. However, Kenneth – his uncle's vice president and longtime confidante – wants to hold off on Anton's

idea in favor of converting any paper records held at the company to electronic storage. Kenneth believes this

process would only take one or two years. Anton likes this idea; he envisions a password-protected system that

only he and Kenneth can access.

Anton also plans to divest the company of most of its subsidiaries. Not only will this make his job easier, but it

will simplify the management of the stored data. The heads of subsidiaries like the art gallery and kitchenware

store down the street will be responsible for their own information management. Then, any unneeded subsidiary

data still in Anton's possession can be destroyed within the next few years.

After learning of a recent security incident, Anton realizes that another crucial step will be notifying customers.

Kenneth insists that two lost hard drives in question are not cause for concern; all of the data was encrypted

and not sensitive in nature. Anton does not want to take any chances, however. He intends on sending notice

letters to all employees and customers to be safe.

Anton must also check for compliance with all legislative, regulatory, and market requirements related to

privacy protection. Kenneth oversaw the development of the company's online presence about ten years ago,

but Anton is not confident about his understanding of recent online marketing laws. Anton is assigning another

trusted employee with a law background the task of the compliance assessment. After a thorough analysis,

Anton knows the company should be safe for another five years, at which time he can order another check.

Documentation of this analysis will show auditors due diligence.

Anton has started down a long road toward improved management of the company, but he knows the effort is

worth it. Anton wants his uncle's legacy to continue for many years to come.

In terms of compliance with regulatory and legislative changes, Anton has a misconception regarding?

A : The timeline for monitoring.

B : The method of recordkeeping

C : The use of internal employees

D : The type of required qualifications.

Answer: A

Question 4

SCENARIO -

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Today is your first day at a fast growing international real estate firm headquartered in New York, with offices in Canada and Germany. You are the firm's first ever privacy officer.

While touring the office to meet your new colleagues and learn the layout of the office, you notice piles of printing jobs left on the printer in the copy room. You also note a recycle bin and garbage can near the printers. With a quick glance, you see a completed loan application form print out with applicant name, social security number and home address lying in the recycle bin. You make a note to follow up immediately.

You are then introduced to the head of IT who gives you a warm welcome and explains his star project this year - enterprise CRM (Customer Relationship Management) mobility. He is very proud that he is leading this innovation that allows firm-wide employees to access the existing CRM database remotely from anywhere on the Internet. The business value of this mobility initiative is significant. Since he doesn't have internal web development expertise, he outsourced the development work to a small IT firm in New York that has just successfully delivered another IT initiative for the company.

After the tour you start working on a plan based on your observations. One immediate action is to schedule a meeting with the head of IT to discuss the CRM mobility project.

While reviewing the contract with the firm the CRM mobility project was outsourced to, all of the following should be mandatory EXCEPT?

A : Right to audit.

B : Breach notification.

C : Security Commitment.

D : Service level agreements.

Answer: D

Question 5

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Manasa is a product manager at Omnipresent Omnimedia, where she is responsible for leading the

development of the company's flagship product, the Handy Helper. The Handy Helper is an application that can

be used in the home to manage family calendars, do online shopping, and schedule doctor appointments. After

having had a successful launch in the United States, the Handy Helper is about to be made available for

purchase worldwide.

The packaging and user guide for the Handy Helper indicate that it is a "privacy friendly" product suitable for the

whole family, including children, but does not provide any further detail or privacy notice. In order to use the

application, a family creates a single account, and the primary user has access to all information about the

other users. Upon start up, the primary user must check a box consenting to receive marketing emails from

Omnipresent Omnimedia and selected marketing partners in order to be able to use the application.

Sanjay, the head of privacy at Omnipresent Omnimedia, was working on an agreement with a European

distributor of Handy Helper when he fielded many questions about the product from the distributor. Sanjay

needed to look more closely at the product in order to be able to answer the questions as he was not involved

in the product development process.

In speaking with the product team, he learned that the Handy Helper collected and stored all of a user's

sensitive medical information for the medical appointment scheduler. In fact, all of the user's information is

stored by Handy Helper for the additional purpose of creating additional products and to analyze usage of the

product. This data is all stored in the cloud and is encrypted both during transmission and at rest.

Consistent with the CEO's philosophy that great new product ideas can come from anyone, all Omnipresent

Omnimedia employees have access to user data under a program called Eureka. Omnipresent Omnimedia is

hoping that at some point in the future, the data will reveal insights that could be used to create a fully

automated application that runs on artificial intelligence, but as of yet, Eureka is not well-defined and is

considered a long-term goal.

What element of the Privacy by Design (PbD) framework might the Handy Helper violate?

A : Failure to obtain opt-in consent to marketing

B : Failure to observe data localization requirements

C : Failure to implement the least privilege access standard

D : Failure to integrate privacy throughout the system development life cycle

Answer: D
