    SCENARIO

    It should be the most secure location housing data in all of Europe, if not the world. The Global Finance Data Collective (GFDC) stores financial information and other types of client data from large banks, insurance companies, multinational corporations and governmental agencies. After a long climb on a mountain road that leads only to the facility, you arrive at the security booth. Your credentials are checked and checked again by the guard to visually verify that you are the person pictured on your passport and national identification card. You are led down a long corridor with server rooms on each side, secured by combination locks built into the doors. You climb a flight of stairs and are led into an office that is lighted brilliantly by skylights where the GFDC Director of Security, Dr. Monique Batch, greets you. On the far wall you notice a bank of video screens showing different rooms in the facility. At the far end, several screens show different sections of the road up the mountain

    Dr. Batch explains once again your mission. As a data security auditor and consultant, it is a dream assignment: The GFDC does not want simply adequate controls, but the best and most effective security that current technologies allow.

    "We were hacked twice last year," Dr. Batch says, "and although only a small number of records were stolen, the bad press impacted our business. Our clients count on us to provide security that is nothing short of impenetrable and to do so quietly. We hope to never make the news again." She notes that it is also essential that the facility is in compliance with all relevant security regulations and standards.

    You have been asked to verify compliance as well as to evaluate all current security controls and security measures, including data encryption methods, authentication controls and the safest methods for transferring data into and out of the facility. As you prepare to begin your analysis, you find yourself considering an intriguing question: Can these people be sure that I am who I say I am?

    You are shown to the office made available to you and are provided with system login information, including the name of the wireless network and a wireless key. Still pondering, you attempt to pull up the facility's wireless network, but no networks appear in the wireless list. When you search for the wireless network by name, however it is readily found.

    What type of wireless network does GFDC seem to employ?

    A. A hidden network.
    B. A reluctant network.
    C. A user verified network.
    D. A wireless mesh network.

  • Question 14:

    SCENARIO

    WebTracker Limited is a cloud-based online marketing service located in London. Last year, WebTracker migrated its IT infrastructure to the cloud provider AmaZure, which provides SQL Databases and Artificial Intelligence services to

    WebTracker. The roles and responsibilities between the two companies have been formalized in a standard contract, which includes allocating the role of data controller to WebTracker.

    The CEO of WebTracker, Mr. Bond, would like to assess the effectiveness of AmaZure's privacy controls, and he recently decided to hire you as an independent auditor. The scope of the engagement is limited only to the marketing services

    provided by WebTracker, you will not be evaluating any internal data processing activity, such as HR or Payroll.

    This ad-hoc audit was triggered due to a future partnership between WebTracker and SmartHome -- a partnership that will not require any data sharing. SmartHome is based in the USA, and most recently has dedicated substantial resources

    to developing smart refrigerators that can suggest the recommended daily calorie intake based on DNA information. This and other personal data is collected by WebTracker.

    To get an idea of the scope of work involved, you have decided to start reviewing the company's documentation and interviewing key staff to understand potential privacy risks.

    The results of this initial work include the following notes:

    There are several typos in the current privacy notice of WebTracker, and you were not able to find the privacy notice for SmartHome. You were unable to identify all the sub-processors working for SmartHome. No subcontractor is indicated in

    the cloud agreement with AmaZure, which is responsible for the support and maintenance of the cloud infrastructure. There are data flows representing personal data being collected from the internal employees of WebTracker, including an

    interface from the HR system. Part of the DNA data collected by WebTracker was from employees, as this was a prototype approved by the CEO of WebTracker.

    All the WebTracker and SmartHome customers are based in USA and Canada.

    Based on the initial assessment and review of the available data flows, which of the following would be the most important privacy risk you should investigate first?

    A. Verify that WebTracker's HR and Payroll systems implement the current privacy notice (after the typos are fixed).
    B. Review the list of subcontractors employed by AmaZure and ensure these are included in the formal agreement with WebTracker.
    C. Evaluate and review the basis for processing employees' personal data in the context of the prototype created by WebTracker and approved by the CEO.
    D. Confirm whether the data transfer from London to the USA has been fully approved by AmaZure and the appropriate institutions in the USA and the European Union.

  • Question 15:

    Which of the following is most important to provide to the data subject before the collection phase of the data lifecycle?

    A. Privacy Notice.
    B. Disclosure Policy.
    C. Consent Request.
    D. Data Protection Policy.

Jordan argues that it is the customers who chose to buy the products on their own initiative and there is no "offering" from the company.

The watch must be paired with either a smartphone or a computer in order to collect data on sleep levels, heart rates, etc. All information from the device must be sent to the company's servers in order to be processed, and then the results are sent to the smartphone or computer. Jordan argues that there is no personal information involved since the company does not collect banking or social security information.
