Question #11
SCENARIO -
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Henry Home Furnishings has built high-end furniture for nearly forty years. However, the new owner, Anton, has found some degree of disorganization after touring the company headquarters. His uncle Henry had always focused on production – not data processing – and Anton is concerned. In several storage rooms, he has found paper files, disks, and old computers that appear to contain the personal data of current and former employees and customers. Anton knows that a single break-in could irrevocably damage the company's relationship with its loyal customers. He intends to set a goal of guaranteed zero loss of personal information.
To this end, Anton originally planned to place restrictions on who was admitted to the physical premises of the company. However, Kenneth – his uncle's vice president and longtime confidante – wants to hold off on Anton's idea in favor of converting any paper records held at the company to electronic storage. Kenneth believes this process would only take one or two years. Anton likes this idea; he envisions a password-protected system that only he and Kenneth can access.
Anton also plans to divest the company of most of its subsidiaries. Not only will this make his job easier, but it will simplify the management of the stored data. The heads of subsidiaries like the art gallery and kitchenware store down the street will be responsible for their own information management. Then, any unneeded subsidiary data still in Anton's possession can be destroyed within the next few years.
After learning of a recent security incident, Anton realizes that another crucial step will be notifying customers. Kenneth insists that two lost hard drives in question are not cause for concern; all of the data was encrypted and not sensitive in nature. Anton does not want to take any chances, however. He intends on sending notice letters to all employees and customers to be safe.
Anton must also check for compliance with all legislative, regulatory, and market requirements related to privacy protection. Kenneth oversaw the development of the company's online presence about ten years ago, but Anton is not confident about his understanding of recent online marketing laws. Anton is assigning another trusted employee with a law background the task of the compliance assessment. After a thorough analysis, Anton knows the company should be safe for another five years, at which time he can order another check. Documentation of this analysis will show auditors due diligence.
Anton has started down a long road toward improved management of the company, but he knows the effort is worth it. Anton wants his uncle's legacy to continue for many years to come.
To improve the facility's system of data security, Anton should consider following through with the plan for which of the following?

To improve the facility's system of data security, Anton should consider following through with the plan for which of the following?
- ACustomer communication.
- BEmployee access to electronic storage.
- CEmployee advisement regarding legal matters.
- DControlled access at the company headquarters.
Correct Answer:
D
D

Anton's initial concern about data vulnerability at Henry Home Furnishings primarily revolves around preventing unauthorized physical access to sensitive materials, an area that has been significantly overlooked in the past. Since his primary goal is achieving zero loss of personal information, it is crucial to first control access to physical spaces within the company. This ensures no unauthorized personnel can access physical files, disks, and computers, posing a direct threat to data security. Starting with secured physical barriers is a fundamental step in enhancing overall data protection, aligning perfectly with his zero-loss goal and laying a strong foundation for future digital security measures.

- BHis intention to transition to electronic storage.
- CHis objective for zero loss of personal information.Most Voted
- DHis intention to send notice letters to customers and employees.
Correct Answer:
A
A

Achieving absolute zero loss of personal information, as Anton aims to do, is an exceedingly ambitious goal. In the real world of data management, it is nearly impossible to guarantee that no privacy breaches will ever occur. Even with the strongest safeguards in place, the risk of data loss or breach cannot be completely eliminated. Anton's plan, while admirable for its intentions, sets an unattainable standard that fails to account for the inherent vulnerabilities and unpredictabilities in handling personal data.

- APracticing data minimalism.
- BEnsuring data retrievability.Most Voted
- CImplementing clear policies.
- DEnsuring adequacy of infrastructure.
Correct Answer:
A
A

The scenario entails Anton's proposed data access policy, which significantly restricts access only to himself and Kenneth, potentially compromising data minimalism. Data minimalism emphasizes the prudent conservation of data access and the retention of the least amount of personal data needed to fulfill the specified objective, reducing potential risks such as privacy breaches. By limiting access excessively, it can undermine the purpose of minimalism, as it may lead to data hoarding and limit oversight and accountability, which are significant aspects of robust data governance. Thus, maintaining broader, regulated access could better align with privacy management practices.

- BThe method of recordkeeping.

- DThe type of required qualifications.
Correct Answer:
B
B

Anton's perception that a five-year compliance check will ensure the company's safety from regulatory risks misunderstands the dynamic nature of regulatory environments, which require adaptive and ongoing monitoring processes to remain compliant. Additionally, his approach to recordkeeping must also reflect adequate procedures and controls in line with current legal standards, as simply keeping documentation without proper audit mechanisms and methodologies can lead to non-compliance. This misstep indicates a need for a more structured and frequent review process, aligned with evolving regulatory demands.

- CTo delay communications until local authorities are informed.
- DTo consider under what circumstances communication is necessary.
Correct Answer:
D
D

Anton's approach to communication with customers after a security incident should be thoughtful and based on necessity, rather than an immediate broad notice. Prompt communication is vital in maintaining trust, yet it is equally important to assess each situation carefully to determine whether communication is required by law or if it could potentially harm more than it helps. This careful consideration avoids unnecessary alarm and potential reputational damage while ensuring compliance with the relevant laws and regulations regarding data breaches and customer privacy. Hence, evaluating the necessity and context of the communication is a prudent recommendation.
