• Question 152:

  SCENARIO

  Wesley Energy has finally made its move, acquiring the venerable oil and gas exploration firm Lancelot from its long-time owner David Wilson. As a member of the transition team, you have come to realize that Wilson's quirky nature affected even Lancelot's data practices, which are maddeningly inconsistent. "The old man hired and fired IT people like he was changing his necktie," one of Wilson's seasoned lieutenants tells you, as you identify the traces of initiatives left half complete. For instance, while some proprietary data and personal information on clients and employees is encrypted, other sensitive information, including health information from surveillance testing of employees for toxic exposures, remains unencrypted, particularly when included within longer records with less-sensitive data. You also find that data is scattered across applications, servers and facilities in a manner that at first glance seems almost random.

  Among your preliminary findings of the condition of data at Lancelot are the following:

  Cloud technology is supplied by vendors around the world, including firms that you have not heard of. You are told by a former Lancelot employee that these vendors operate with divergent security requirements and protocols. The company's proprietary recovery process for shale oil is stored on servers among a variety of less-sensitive information that can be accessed not only by scientists, but by personnel of all types at most company locations. DES is the strongest encryption algorithm currently used for any file. Several company facilities lack physical security controls, beyond visitor check-in, which familiar vendors often bypass. Fixing all of this will take work, but first you need to grasp the scope of the mess and formulate a plan of action to address it.

  Which is true regarding the type of encryption Lancelot uses?

  A. It employs the data scrambling technique known as obfuscation.

  B. Its decryption key is derived from its encryption key.

  C. It uses a single key for encryption and decryption.

  D. It is a data masking methodology.

  Correct Answer: C

  It uses a single key for encryption and decryption. In the scenario, it is mentioned that Lancelot uses symmetric encryption to protect its data. Symmetric encryption uses a single key for both encryption and decryption.

• Question 156:

  SCENARIO

  Clean-Q is a company that offers house-hold and office cleaning services. The company receives requests from consumers via their website and telephone, to book cleaning services. Based on the type and size of service, Clean-Q then contracts individuals that are registered on its resource database - currently managed in-house by Clean-Q IT Support. Because of Clean-Q's business model, resources are contracted as needed instead of permanently employed.

  The table below indicates some of the personal information Clean-Q requires as part of its business operations:

  

  Clean-Q has an internal employee base of about 30 people. A recent privacy compliance exercise has been conducted to align employee data management and human resource functions with applicable data protection regulation. Therefore, the Clean-Q permanent employee base is not included as part of this scenario.

  With an increase in construction work and housing developments, Clean-Q has had an influx of requests for cleaning services. The demand has overwhelmed Clean-Q's traditional supply and demand system that has caused some overlapping bookings.

  Ina business strategy session held by senior management recently, Clear-Q invited vendors to present potential solutions to their current operational issues. These vendors included Application developers and Cloud-Q's solution providers,

  presenting their proposed solutions and platforms.

  The Managing Director opted to initiate the process to integrate Clean-Q's operations with a cloud solution (LeadOps) that will provide the following solution one single online platform: A web interface that Clean-Q accesses for the purposes

  of resource and customer management. This would entail uploading resource and customer information.

  A customer facing web interface that enables customers to register, manage and submit cleaning service requests online.

  A resource facing web interface that enables resources to apply and manage their assigned jobs.

  An online payment facility for customers to pay for services.

  If Clean-Q were to utilize LeadOps' services, what is a contract clause that may be included in the agreement entered into with LeadOps?

  A. A provision that holds LeadOps liable for a data breach involving Clean-Q's information.

  B. A provision prescribing technical and organizational controls that LeadOps must implement.

  C. A provision that requires LeadOps to notify Clean-Q of any suspected breaches of information that involves customer or resource information managed on behalf of Clean-Q.

  D. A provision that allows Clean-Q to conduct audits of LeadOps' information processing and information security environment, at LeadOps' cost and at any time that Clean-Q requires.

• Question 160:

  SCENARIO

  Kyle is a new security compliance manager who will be responsible for coordinating and executing controls to ensure compliance with the company's information security policy and industry standards. Kyle is also new to the company, where collaboration is a core value. On his first day of new-hire orientation, Kyle's schedule included participating in meetings and observing work in the IT and compliance departments.

  Kyle spent the morning in the IT department, where the CIO welcomed him and explained that her department was responsible for IT governance. The CIO and Kyle engaged in a conversation about the importance of identifying meaningful IT governance metrics. Following their conversation, the CIO introduced Kyle to Ted and Barney. Ted is implementing a plan to encrypt data at the transportation level of the organization's wireless network. Kyle would need to get up to speed on the project and suggest ways to monitor effectiveness once the implementation was complete. Barney explained that his short-term goals are to establish rules governing where data can be placed and to minimize the use of offline data storage.

  Kyle spent the afternoon with Jill, a compliance specialist, and learned that she was exploring an initiative for a compliance program to follow self-regulatory privacy principles. Thanks to a recent internship, Kyle had some experience in this area and knew where Jill could find some support. Jill also shared results of the company's privacy risk assessment, noting that the secondary use of personal information was considered a high risk.

  By the end of the day, Kyle was very excited about his new job and his new company. In fact, he learned about an open position for someone with strong qualifications and experience with access privileges, project standards board approval processes, and application-level obligations, and couldn't wait to recommend his friend Ben who would be perfect for the job.

  Ted's implementation is most likely a response to what incident?

  A. Encryption keys were previously unavailable to the organization's cloud storage host.

  B. Signatureless advanced malware was detected at multiple points on the organization's networks.

  C. Cyber criminals accessed proprietary data by running automated authentication attacks on the organization's network.

  D. Confidential information discussed during a strategic teleconference was intercepted by the organization's top competitor.

  Correct Answer: C

  In the scenario, Ted implemented a new security measure that requires all employees to use two-factor authentication when accessing the organization's network. This measure is most likely a response to an incident where cyber criminals accessed proprietary data by running automated authentication attacks on the organization's network.
