  • Question 211:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

    You lead the privacy office for a company that handles information from individuals living in several countries

    throughout Europe and the Americas. You begin that morning's privacy review when a contracts officer sends you a message asking for a phone call. The message lacks clarity and detail, but you presume that data was lost.

    When you contact the contracts officer, he tells you that he received a letter in the mail from a vendor stating that the vendor improperly shared information about your customers. He called the vendor and confirmed that your company recently surveyed exactly 2000 individuals about their most recent healthcare experience and sent those surveys to the vendor to transcribe it into a database, but the vendor forgot to encrypt the database as promised in the contract. As a result, the vendor has lost control of the data.

    The vendor is extremely apologetic and offers to take responsibility for sending out the notifications. They tell you they set aside 2000 stamped postcards because that should reduce the time it takes to get the notice in the mail. One side is limited to their logo, but the other side is blank and they will accept whatever you want to write. You put their offer on hold and begin to develop the text around the space constraints. You are content to let the vendor's logo be associated with the notification.

    The notification explains that your company recently hired a vendor to store information about their most recent experience at St. Sebastian Hospital's Clinic for Infectious Diseases. The vendor did not encrypt the information and no longer has control of it. All 2000 affected individuals are invited to sign-up for email notifications about their information. They simply need to go to your company's website and watch a quick advertisement, then provide their name, email address, and month and year of birth.

    You email the incident-response council for their buy-in before 9 a.m. If anything goes wrong in this situation, you want to diffuse the blame across your colleagues. Over the next eight hours, everyone emails their comments back and forth. The consultant who leads the incident-response team notes that it is his first day with the company, but he has been in other industries for 45 years and will do his best. One of the three lawyers on the council causes the conversation to veer off course, but it eventually gets back on track. At the end of the day, they vote to proceed with the notification you wrote and use the vendor's postcards.

    Shortly after the vendor mails the postcards, you learn the data was on a server that was stolen, and make the decision to have your company offer credit monitoring services. A quick internet search finds a credit monitoring company with a convincing name: Credit Under Lock and Key (CRUDLOK). Your sales rep has never handled a contract for 2000 people, but develops a proposal in about a day which says CRUDLOK will: 1.Send an enrollment invitation to everyone the day after the contract is signed.

    2.Enroll someone with just their first name and the last-4 of their national identifier.

    3.Monitor each enrollee's credit for two years from the date of enrollment.

    4.Send a monthly email with their credit rating and offers for credit-related services at market rates.

    5.Charge your company 20% of the cost of any credit restoration.

    You execute the contract and the enrollment invitations are emailed to the 2000 individuals. Three days later you sit down and document all that went well and all that could have gone better. You put it in a file to reference the next time an incident occurs.

    Which of the following was done CORRECTLY during the above incident?

    A. The process by which affected individuals sign up for email notifications

    B. Your assessment of which credit monitoring company you should hire

    C. The speed at which you sat down to reflect and document the incident

    D. Finding a vendor who will offer the affected individuals additional services

  • Question 212:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

    John is the new privacy officer at the prestigious international law firm ?and;M LLP. and;M LLP is very proud of its reputation in the practice areas of Trusts and Estates and Merger and Acquisition in both U.S. and Europe.

    During lunch with a colleague from the Information Technology department, John heard that the Head of IT, Derrick, is about to outsource the firm's email continuity service to their existing email security vendor ?MessageSafe. Being

    successful as an email hygiene vendor, MessageSafe is expanding its business by leasing cloud infrastructure from Cloud Inc. to host email continuity service for AandM LLP.

    John is very concerned about this initiative. He recalled that MessageSafe was in the news six months ago due to a security breach. Immediately, John did a quick research of MessageSafe's previous breach and learned that the breach was

    caused by an unintentional mistake by an IT administrator. He scheduled a meeting with Derrick to address his concerns.

    At the meeting, Derrick emphasized that email is the primary method for the firm's lawyers to communicate with clients, thus it is critical to have the email continuity service to avoid any possible email downtime. Derrick has been using the

    anti-spam service provided by MessageSafe for five years and is very happy with the quality of service provided by MessageSafe. In addition to the significant discount offered by MessageSafe, Derrick emphasized that he can also speed up

    the onboarding process since the firm already has a service contract in place with MessageSafe. The existing on-premises email continuity solution is about to reach its end of life very soon and he doesn't have the time or resource to look for

    another solution. Furthermore, the off- premises email continuity service will only be turned on when the email service at AandM LLP's primary and secondary data centers are both down, and the email messages stored at MessageSafe site for

    continuity service will be automatically deleted after 30 days.

    Which of the following is a TRUE statement about the relationship among the organizations?

    A. Cloud Inc. must notify AandM LLP of a data breach immediately.

    B. MessageSafe is liable if Cloud Inc. fails to protect data from AandM LLP.

    C. Cloud Inc. should enter into a data processor agreement with AandM LLP.

    D. AandM LLP's service contract must be amended to list Cloud Inc. as a sub-processor.

  • Question 213:

    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.

  • Question 214:

    Which of the following actions is NOT required during a data privacy diligence process for Merger and Acquisition (MandA) deals?

    A. Revise inventory of applications that house personal data and data mapping.

    B. Update business processes to handle Data Subject Requests (DSRs).

    C. Compare the original use of personal data to post-merger use.

    D. Perform a privacy readiness assessment before the deal.

  • Question 217:

    SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION: Natalia, CFO of the Nationwide Grill restaurant chain, had never seen her fellow executives so anxious. Last week, a data processing firm used by the company reported that its system may have been hacked, and customer data such as

    names, addresses, and birthdays may have been compromised. Although the attempt was proven unsuccessful, the scare has prompted several Nationwide Grill executives to Question the company's privacy program at today's meeting.

    Alice, a vice president, said that the incident could have opened the door to lawsuits, potentially damaging Nationwide Grill's market position. The Chief Information Officer (CIO), Brendan, tried to assure her that even if there had been an actual breach, the chances of a successful suit against the company were slim. But Alice remained unconvinced. Spencer ?a former CEO and currently a senior advisor ?said that he had always warned against the use of contractors for data processing. At the very least, he argued, they should be held contractually liable for telling customers about any

    security incidents. In his view, Nationwide Grill should not be forced to soil the company name for a problem it did not cause.

    One of the business development (BD) executives, Haley, then spoke, imploring everyone to see reason.

    "Breaches can happen, despite organizations' best efforts," she remarked. "Reasonable preparedness is key." She reminded everyone of the incident seven years ago when the large grocery chain Tinkerton's had its financial information

    compromised after a large order of Nationwide Grill frozen dinners. As a long-time BD executive with a solid understanding of Tinkerton's's corporate culture, built up through many years of cultivating relationships, Haley was able to

    successfully manage the company's incident response.

    Spencer replied that acting with reason means allowing security to be handled by the security functions within the company ?not BD staff. In a similar way, he said, Human Resources (HR) needs to do a better job training employees to

    prevent incidents. He pointed out that Nationwide Grill employees are overwhelmed with posters, emails, and memos from both HR and the ethics department related to the company's privacy program. Both the volume and the duplication of

    information means that it is often ignored altogether.

    Spencer said, "The company needs to dedicate itself to its privacy program and set regular in-person trainings for all staff once a month."

    Alice responded that the suggestion, while well-meaning, is not practical. With many locations, local HR departments need to have flexibility with their training schedules.

    Silently, Natalia agreed.

    The senior advisor, Spencer, has a misconception regarding?

    A. The amount of responsibility that a data controller retains.

    B. The appropriate role of an organization's security department.

    C. The degree to which training can lessen the number of security incidents.

    D. The role of Human Resources employees in an organization's privacy program.

  • Question 218:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

    As the Director of data protection for Consolidated Records Corporation, you are justifiably pleased with your accomplishments so far. Your hiring was precipitated by warnings from regulatory agencies following a series of relatively minor

    data breaches that could easily have been worse. However, you have not had a reportable incident for the three years that you have been with the company. In fact, you consider your program a model that others in the data storage industry

    may note in their own program development.

    You started the program at Consolidated from a jumbled mix of policies and procedures and worked toward coherence across departments and throughout operations. You were aided along the way by the program's sponsor, the vice

    president of operations, as well as by a Privacy Team that started from a clear understanding of the need for change.

    Initially, your work was greeted with little confidence or enthusiasm by the company's "old guard" among both the executive team and frontline personnel working with data and interfacing with clients. Through the use of metrics that showed

    the costs not only of the breaches that had occurred, but also projections of the costs that easily could occur given the current state of operations, you soon had the leaders and key decision-makers largely on your side. Many of the other

    employees were more resistant, but face-to-face meetings with each department and the development of a baseline privacy training program achieved sufficient "buy-in" to begin putting the proper procedures into place.

    Now, privacy protection is an accepted component of all current operations involving personal or protected data and must be part of the end product of any process of technological development. While your approach is not systematic, it is

    fairly effective.

    You are left contemplating:

    What must be done to maintain the program and develop it beyond just a data breach prevention program? How can you build on your success?

    What are the next action steps?

    How can Consolidated's privacy training program best be further developed?

    A. Through targeted curricula designed for specific departments.

    B. By adopting e-learning to reduce the need for instructors.

    C. By using industry standard off-the-shelf programs.

    D. Through a review of recent data breaches.

  • Question 219:

    SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION: Your organization, the Chicago (U.S.)-based Society for Urban Greenspace, has used the same vendor to operate all aspects of an online store for several years. As a small nonprofit, the Society cannot afford the higher-priced options, but

    you have been relatively satisfied with this budget vendor, Shopping Cart Saver (SCS). Yes, there have been some issues. Twice, people who purchased items from the store have had their credit card information used fraudulently

    subsequent to transactions on your site, but in neither case did the investigation reveal with certainty that the Society's store had been hacked. The thefts could have been employee-related.

    Just as disconcerting was an incident where the organization discovered that SCS had sold information it had collected from customers to third parties. However, as Jason Roland, your SCS account representative, points

    out, it took only a phone call from you to clarify expectations and the "misunderstanding" has not occurred again.

    As an information-technology program manager with the Society, the role of the privacy professional is only one of many you play. In all matters, however, you must consider the financial bottom line. While these problems with privacy

    protection have been significant, the additional revenues of sales of items such as shirts and coffee cups from the store have been significant. The Society's operating budget is slim, and all sources of revenue are essential.

    Now a new challenge has arisen. Jason called to say that starting in two weeks, the customer data from the store would now be stored on a data cloud. "The good news," he says, "is that we have found a low-cost provider in Finland, where the data would also be held. So, while there may be a small charge to pass through to you, it won't be exorbitant, especially considering the advantages of a cloud." Lately, you have been hearing about cloud computing and you know it's fast becoming the new paradigm for various applications. However, you have heard mixed reviews about the potential impacts on privacy protection. You begin to research and discover that a number of the leading cloud service providers have signed a letter of intent to work together on shared conventions and technologies for privacy protection. You make a note to find out if Jason's Finnish provider is signing on.

    What is the best way for your vendor to be clear about the Society's breach notification expectations?

    A. Include notification provisions in the vendor contract

    B. Arrange regular telephone check-ins reviewing expectations

    C. Send a memorandum of understanding on breach notification

    D. Email the regulations that require breach notifications
