• Question 121:

  Which of the following is NOT a valid basis for data retention?

  A. Size of the data.
  B. Type of the data.
  C. Location of the data.
  D. Last time the data was accessed.
  A. Size of the data.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The size of the data is not a valid basis for determining data retention policies. Data retention should be guided by more substantial criteria such as the type of the data (which can determine its sensitivity and legal retention requirements), the location of the data (which can be relevant due to varying legal jurisdictions and regulations), and the last time the data was accessed (which can help in assessing the data's ongoing relevance and necessity). The mere size of the data does not typically provide sufficient grounds for making decisions about whether to retain or dispose of data, as size does not inherently reflect the importance, sensitivity, or legal requirements associated with the data.

• Question 122:

  How does k-anonymity help to protect privacy in micro data sets?

  A. By ensuring that every record in a set is part of a group of "k" records having similar identifying information.
  B. By switching values between records in order to preserve most statistics while still maintaining privacy.
  C. By adding sufficient noise to the data in order to hide the impact of any one individual.
  D. By top-coding all age data above a value of "k."
  A. By ensuring that every record in a set is part of a group of "k" records having similar identifying information.

• Question 125:

  An organization is developing a speech recognition solution for its consumer-based application. From a privacy perspective, which architectural concept would help the organization to decide where to process the voice data?

  A. Defense in Depth
  B. Least Privilege
  C. Network Centricity
  D. Network Encryption
  D. Network Encryption

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  From a privacy perspective, network encryption is crucial in determining how and where to process voice data, especially in the context of developing a speech recognition solution. Encrypting the voice data as it travels across networks ensures that the data remains confidential and secure from unauthorized access. This is vital when dealing with potentially sensitive personal information that can be derived from speech, such as identity, intent, or personal preferences. Network encryption helps maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the voice data, whether it is processed locally on the device, in transit, or in cloud environments, thus significantly reducing privacy risks associated with data breaches and unauthorized data interception.

• Question 126:

  SCENARIO

  Tom looked forward to starting his new position with a U.S --based automobile leasing company (New Company), now operating in 32 states. New Company was recently formed through the merger of two prominent players, one from the eastern region (East Company) and one from the western region (West Company). Tom, a Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT), is New Company's first Information Privacy and Security Officer. He met today with Dick from East Company, and Harry, from West Company. Dick and Harry are veteran senior information privacy and security professionals at their respective companies, and continue to lead the east and west divisions of New Company. The purpose of the meeting was to conduct a SWOT (strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats) analysis for New Company. Their SWOT analysis conclusions are summarized below.

  Dick was enthusiastic about an opportunity for the New Company to reduce costs and increase computing power and flexibility through cloud services. East Company had been contemplating moving to the cloud, but West Company already had a vendor that was providing it with software-as-a-service (SaaS). Dick was looking forward to extending this service to the eastern region. Harry noted that this was a threat as well, because West Company had to rely on the third party to protect its data.

  Tom mentioned that neither of the legacy companies had sufficient data storage space to meet the projected growth of New Company, which he saw as a weakness. Tom stated that one of the team's first projects would be to construct a consolidated New Company data warehouse. Tom would personally lead this project and would be held accountable if information was modified during transmission to or during storage in the new data warehouse.

  Tom, Dick and Harry agreed that employee network access could be considered both a strength and a weakness. East Company and West Company had strong performance records in this regard; both had robust network access controls that were working as designed. However, during a projected year-long transition period, New Company employees would need to be able to connect to a New Company network while retaining access to the East Company and West Company networks.

  When employees are working remotely, they usually connect to a Wi-Fi network. What should Harry advise for maintaining company security in this situation?

  A. Hiding wireless service set identifiers (SSID).
  B. Retaining the password assigned by the network.
  C. Employing Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.
  D. Using tokens sent through HTTP sites to verify user identity.
  D. Using tokens sent through HTTP sites to verify user identity.

• Question 127:

  What is the distinguishing feature of asymmetric encryption?

  A. It has a stronger key for encryption than for decryption.
  B. It employs layered encryption using dissimilar methods.
  C. It uses distinct keys for encryption and decryption.
  D. It is designed to cross operating systems.
  C. It uses distinct keys for encryption and decryption.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Reference: https://www.cryptomathic.com/news-events/blog/classification-of-cryptographic- keys-functions-and-properties The distinguishing feature of asymmetric encryption is that it uses distinct keys for encryption and decryption3. Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, involves two keys: a public key that can be shared with anyone and used to encrypt messages; and a private key that is kept secret by its owner and used to decrypt messages

  3. The other options are not features of asymmetric encryption.

• Question 128:

  SCENARIO

  Please use the following to answer the next questions:

  Your company is launching a new track and trace health app during the outbreak of a virus pandemic in the US. The developers claim the app is based on privacy by design because personal data collected was considered to ensure only necessary data is captured, users are presented with a privacy notice, and they are asked to give consent before data is shared. Users can update their consent after logging into an account, through a dedicated privacy and consent hub. This is accessible through the 'Settings' icon from any app page, then clicking 'My Preferences', and selecting 'Information Sharing and Consent' where the following choices are displayed:

  1.

  "I consent to receive notifications and infection alerts";

  2.

  "I consent to receive information on additional features or services, and new products";

  3.

  "I consent to sharing only my risk result and location information, for exposure and contact tracing purposes";

  4.

  "I consent to share my data for medical research purposes"; and

  5.

  "I consent to share my data with healthcare providers affiliated to the company".

  For each choice, an ON* or OFF tab is available The default setting is ON for all

  Users purchase a virus screening service for USS29 99 for themselves or others using the app The virus screening service works as follows:

  1.

  Step 1 A photo of the user's face is taken.

  2.

  Step 2 The user measures their temperature and adds the reading in the app

  3.

  Step 3 The user is asked to read sentences so that a voice analysis can detect symptoms

  4.

  Step 4 The user is asked to answer questions on known symptoms

  5.

  Step 5 The user can input information on family members (name date of birth, citizenship, home address, phone number, email and relationship).)

  The results are displayed as one of the following risk status "Low. "Medium" or "High" if the user is deemed at "Medium " or "High" risk an alert may be sent to other users and the user is Invited to seek a medical consultation and diagnostic from a healthcare provider.

  A user's risk status also feeds a world map for contact tracing purposes, where users are able to check if they have been or are in dose proximity of an infected person If a user has come in contact with another individual classified as "medium' or 'high' risk an instant notification also alerts the user of this. The app collects location trails of every user to monitor locations visited by an infected individual Location is collected using the phone's GPS functionary, whether the app is in use or not however, the exact location of the user is "blurred' for privacy reasons Users can only see on the map circles

  Which of the following pieces of information collected is the LEAST likely to be justified tor the purposes of the app?

  A. Relationship of family member
  B. Phone number
  C. Dale of birth
  D. Citizenship
  D. Citizenship

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Of the pieces of information collected by the app described in the scenario provided in the exhibit you shared, citizenship (option D) is LEAST likely to be justified for the purposes of the app. Citizenship may not be necessary for providing health recommendations or contact tracing services. Collecting this type of personal information could raise privacy concerns if it is not necessary for fulfilling the primary purpose of the app.
