  • Question 164:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    When there was a data breach involving customer personal and financial information at a large retail store, the company's directors were shocked. However, Roberta, a privacy analyst at the company and a victim of identity theft herself, was

    not. Prior to the breach, she had been working on a privacy program report for the executives. How the company shared and handled data across its organization was a major concern. There were neither adequate rules about access to

    customer information nor

    procedures for purging and destroying outdated data. In her research, Roberta had discovered that even low-level employees had access to all of the company's customer data, including financial records, and that the company still had in its

    possession obsolete customer data going back to the 1980s.

    Her report recommended three main reforms. First, permit access on an as-needs-to-know basis. This would mean restricting employees' access to customer information to data that was relevant to the work performed. Second, create a

    highly secure database for storing customers' financial information (e.g., credit card and bank account numbers) separate from less sensitive information. Third, identify outdated customer information and then develop a process for securely

    disposing of it.

    When the breach occurred, the company's executives called Roberta to a meeting where she presented the recommendations in her report. She explained that the company having a national customer base meant it would have to ensure that

    it complied with all relevant state breach notification laws. Thanks to Roberta's guidance, the company was able to notify customers quickly and within the specific timeframes set by state breach notification laws.

    Soon after, the executives approved the changes to the privacy program that Roberta recommended in her report. The privacy program is far more effective now because of these changes and, also, because privacy and security are now

    considered the responsibility of every employee.

    Based on the problems with the company's privacy security that Roberta identifies, what

    is the most likely cause of the breach?

    A. Mishandling of information caused by lack of access controls.
    B. Unintended disclosure of information shared with a third party.
    C. Fraud involving credit card theft at point-of-service terminals.
    D. Lost company property such as a computer or flash drive.

  • Question 165:

    A student has left high school and is attending a public postsecondary institution. Under what condition may a school legally disclose educational records to the parents of the student without consent?

    A. If the student has not yet turned 18 years of age
    B. If the student is in danger of academic suspension
    C. If the student is still a dependent for tax purposes
    D. If the student has applied to transfer to another institution

  • Question 166:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    You are the chief privacy officer at HealthCo, a major hospital in a large U.S. city in state A. HealthCo is a HIPAA-covered entity that provides healthcare services to more than 100,000 patients. A third-party cloud computing service provider,

    CloudHealth, stores and manages the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of these individuals on behalf of HealthCo. CloudHealth stores the data in state

    B. As part of HealthCo's business associate agreement (BAA) with

    CloudHealth, HealthCo requires CloudHealth to implement security measures, including industry standard encryption practices, to adequately protect the data. However, HealthCo did not perform due diligence on CloudHealth before entering

    the contract, and has not conducted audits of CloudHealth's security measures.

    A CloudHealth employee has recently become the victim of a phishing attack. When the employee unintentionally clicked on a link from a suspicious email, the PHI of more than 10,000 HealthCo patients was compromised. It has since been

    published online. The HealthCo cybersecurity team quickly identifies the perpetrator as a known hacker who has launched similar attacks on other hospitals ?ones that exposed the PHI of public figures including celebrities and politicians.

    During the course of its investigation, HealthCo discovers that CloudHealth has not encrypted the PHI in accordance with the terms of its contract. In addition, CloudHealth has not provided privacy or security training to its employees. Law

    enforcement has requested that HealthCo provide its investigative report of the breach and a copy of the PHI of the individuals affected.

    A patient affected by the breach then sues HealthCo, claiming that the company did not adequately protect the individual's ePHI, and that he has suffered substantial harm as a result of the exposed data. The patient's attorney has submitted

    a discovery request for the ePHI exposed in the breach.

    What is the most effective kind of training CloudHealth could have given its employees to help prevent this type of data breach?

    A. Training on techniques for identifying phishing attempts
    B. Training on the terms of the contractual agreement with HealthCo
    C. Training on the difference between confidential and non-public information
    D. Training on CloudHealth's HR policy regarding the role of employees involved data breaches
