NEW QUESTION # 40
If an organization certified under Privacy Shield wants to transfer personal data to a third party acting as an agent, the organization must ensure the third party does all of the following EXCEPT?
- A. Notifies the organization if it can no longer meet its requirements for proper data handling
- B. Provides the same level of privacy protection as the organization
- C. Enters a contract with the organization that states the third party will process data according to the consent agreement
- D. Uses the transferred data for limited purposes
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the Privacy Shield Framework, an organization that transfers personal data to a third party acting as an agent must ensure that the agent does all of the following1:
* Uses the transferred data only for limited and specified purposes;
* Provides the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles;
* Takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the agent effectively processes the personal information transferred in a manner consistent with the organization's obligations under the Principles;
* Requires the agent to notify the organization if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Principles;
* Upon notice, takes reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing; and
* Provides a summary or a representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of its contract with that agent to the Department of Commerce upon request.
Therefore, the only option that is not required by the Privacy Shield Framework is D. Enters a contract with the organization that states the third party will process data according to the consent agreement. While the organization must obtain the individual's consent for certain types of data transfers, such as those involving sensitive data or onward transfers to controllers, the organization does not have to include the consent agreement in the contract with the agent. The contract must, however, ensure that the agent will process the data in accordance with the individual's choices and expectations, as well as the Privacy Shield Principles2.

NEW QUESTION # 41
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 securitymeasures, 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
Answer: A
Explanation:
Phishing is a form of social engineering that involves sending fraudulent emails or other messages that appear to come from a legitimate source, but are designed to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information, such aspasswords, account numbers, or personal identifiers1. Phishing is one of the most common and effective methods of cyberattacks, and it can lead to data breaches, identity theft, ransomware infections, or other serious consequences2. Therefore, training on how to recognize and avoid phishing attempts is crucial for any organization that handles sensitive data, especially ePHI, which is subject to strict regulations under HIPAA3.
Training on techniques for identifying phishing attempts can help employees to spot the signs of a phishing email, such as:
* Sender's address or domain name that does not match the expected source or contains spelling errors4
* Generic salutations or impersonal tone that do not address the recipient by name or use proper grammar4
* Urgent or threatening language that creates a sense of pressure or fear and asks the recipient to take immediate action, such as clicking on a link, opening an attachment, or providing information4
* Suspicious links or attachments that may contain malware or lead to fake websites that mimic the appearance of a legitimate site, but have a different URL or request login credentials or other data4
* Requests for sensitive information that are unusual or out of context, such as asking for passwords, account numbers, or personal identifiers that the sender should already have or should not need4 Training on techniques for identifying phishing attempts can also help employees to learn how to respond to a phishing email, such as:
* Not clicking on any links or opening any attachments in the email4
* Not replying to the email or providing any information to the sender4
* Reporting the email to the IT department or security team and deleting it from the inbox4
* Verifying the legitimacy of the email by contacting the sender directly using a different channel, such as phone or another email address4
* Updating the antivirus software and scanning the device for any malware infection4 Training on techniques for identifying phishing attempts is the most effective kind of training that CloudHealth could have given its employees to help prevent this type of data breach, because it would have enabled them to recognize the phishing email that compromised the PHI of more than 10,000 HealthCo patients, and to avoid falling victim to it. Training on the terms of the contractual agreement with HealthCo, the difference between confidential and non-public information, or CloudHealth's HR policy regarding the role of employees involved in data breaches, while important, would not have been as effective in preventing this specific type of data breach, because they would not have addressed the root cause of the breach, which was the phishing email.

NEW QUESTION # 42
Global Manufacturing Co's Human Resources department recently purchased a new software tool. This tool helps evaluate future candidates for executive roles by scanning emails to see what those candidates say and what is said about them. This provides the HR department with an automated "360 review" that lets them know how the candidate thinks and operates, what their peers and direct reports say about them, and how well they interact with each other.
What is the most important step for the Human Resources Department to take when implementing this new software?
- A. Providing notice to employees that their emails will be scanned by the software and creating automated profiles.
- B. Confirming that employees have read and signed the employee handbook where they have been advised that they have no right to privacy as long as they are using the organization's systems, regardless of the protected group or laws enforced by EEOC.
- C. Making sure that the software does not unintentionally discriminate against protected groups.
- D. Ensuring that the software contains a privacy notice explaining that employees have no right to privacy as long as they are running this software on organization systems to scan email systems.

NEW QUESTION # 44
The CFO of a pharmaceutical company is duped by a phishing email and discloses many of the company's employee personnel files to an online predator. The files include employee contact information, job applications, performance reviews, discipline records, and job descriptions.
Which of the following state laws would be an affected employee's best recourse against the employer?
- A. The state UDAP statute.
- B. The state personnel record review statute.
- C. The state data destruction statute.
- D. The state social security number confidentiality statute.
Answer: B
Explanation:
A state personnel record review statute typically governs the access, maintenance, and protection of employee personnel records. It may establish certain rights for employees to access their own personnel records, and it could also include provisions related to data security and breaches of employee information. Given that the disclosed information includes employee contact information, job applications, performance reviews, and other personnel-related data, the affected employee could potentially rely on this statute to seek remedies or protections related to the breach of their personal and confidential information.
NEW QUESTION # 45
Which of these organizations would be required to provide its customers with an annual privacy notice?
- A. The Golden Gavel Auction House.
- B. The King County Savings and Loan.
- C. The Breezy City Housing Commission.
- D. The Four Winds Tribal College.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The annual privacy notice requirement under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) applies to financial institutions that collect nonpublic personal information from customers and disclose it to nonaffiliated third parties, unless they qualify for an exception. A financial institution is any entity that engages in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to such activities, as defined by section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The King County Savings and Loan is a financial institution under this definition, as it engages in lending money and accepting deposits. Therefore, it is required to provide its customers with an annual privacy notice, unless it meets the conditions for an exception. The Four Winds Tribal College, the Golden Gavel Auction House, and the Breezy City Housing Commission are not financial institutions under the GLBA, as they do not engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to such activities.
Therefore, they are not required to provide their customers with an annual privacy notice under the GLBA. References:
* Amendment to the Annual Privacy Notice Requirement Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, section I.
Background, paragraph 2.
* 17 CFR § 248.5 - Annual privacy notice to customers required., paragraph (a) (1).

NEW QUESTION # 46
What is a legal document approved by a judge that formalizes an agreement between a governmental agency and an adverse party called?
- A. A judgment rider
- B. Stare decisis decree
- C. A consent decree
- D. Common law judgment
Answer: C
Explanation:
A consent decree is a legal document that resolves a dispute between a governmental agency and an adverse party without admission of guilt or liability by either side. It is approved by a judge and has the force of a court order. A consent decree may include terms such as compliance, monitoring, reporting, or remediation. A consent decree is often used to settle civil enforcement actions brought by federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or the Department of Justice (DOJ).

NEW QUESTION # 47
What is the most likely reason that states have adopted their own data breach notification laws?
- A. Many states have unique types of businesses that require specific legislation
- B. Many types of organizations are not currently subject to federal laws regarding breaches
- C. Many large businesses have intentionally breached the personal information of their customers
- D. Many lawmakers believe that federal enforcement of current laws has not been effective
Answer: B
Explanation:
The most likely reason that states have adopted their own data breach notification laws is that many types of organizations are not currently subject to federal laws regarding breaches. As explained in the Data Breach Response: A Guide for Business from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), certain federal laws govern obligations to report data breaches in particular industries, such as health care, financial services, or telecommunications. However, these laws do not cover all types of businesses or all types of personal information that may be compromised in a data breach. Therefore, states have enacted their own data breach notification laws to fill the gaps and protect the privacy andsecurity of their residents. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, as of January 2022, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have enacted legislation requiring notification of security breaches involving personal information. These state laws vary in terms of the definitions of personal information, the triggers for notification, the methods and timing of notification, the exemptions and exceptions, and the penalties and enforcement mechanisms.

NEW QUESTION # 49
The Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988 restricted which of the following?
- A. Which purchase records of audio visual materials may be disclosed
- B. Who advertisements for videos and video games may target
- C. When a user's viewing of online video content can be monitored
- D. When downloading of copyrighted audio visual materials is allowed
Answer: A
Explanation:
The VPPA was enacted to prevent the wrongful disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII) concerning any consumer of a video tape service provider. PII includes information that identifies a person as having requested or obtained specific video materials or services from a video tape service provider. The VPPA prohibits such disclosure, except in certain limited circumstances, such as with the consumer's informed, written consent, or pursuant to a law enforcement warrant, subpoena, or court order. The VPPA also allows the disclosure of the names and addresses of consumers, but not the title, description, or subject matter of any video tapes or other audio visual material, for the exclusive use of marketing goods and services directly to the consumer, unless the consumer has opted out of such disclosure. The other options (B, C, and D) are not restricted by the VPPA. References:

Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 51
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. Lost company property such as a computer or flash drive.
- C. Fraud involving credit card theft at point-of-service terminals.
- D. Unintended disclosure of information shared with a third party.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The scenario describes how the company had no adequate rules about access to customer information and how low-level employees had access to all of the company's customer data, including financial records. This indicates that the company did not implement proper access controls to limit who can access, use, or disclose customer information based on their roles and responsibilities. Access controls are one of the key elements of information security and privacy, as they help prevent unauthorized or inappropriate access to sensitive data. Without access controls, the company's customer information was vulnerable to mishandling by employees or outsiders who could exploit the weak security measures. Therefore, the most likely cause of the breach was mishandling of information caused by lack of access controls.
NEW QUESTION # 52
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
A US-based startup company is selling a new gaming application. One day, the CEO of the company receives an urgent letter from a prominent EU-based retail partner. Triggered by an unresolved complaint lodged by an EU resident, the letter describes an ongoing investigation by a supervisory authority into the retailer's data handling practices.
The complainant accuses the retailer of improperly disclosing her personal data, without consent, to parties in the United States. Further, the complainant accuses the EU-based retailer of failing to respond to her withdrawal of consent and request for erasure of her personal data. Your organization, the US- based startup company, was never informed of this request for erasure by the EU-based retail partner. The supervisory authority investigating the complaint has threatened the suspension of data flows if the parties involved do not cooperate with the investigation. The letter closes with an urgent request: "Please act immediately by identifying all personal data received from our company." This is an important partnership. Company executives know that its biggest fans come from Western Europe; and this retailer is primarily responsible for the startup's rapid market penetration.
As the Company's data privacy leader, you are sensitive to the criticality of the relationship with the retailer.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), how would the U.S.-based startup company most likely be classified?
- A. As a data controller
- B. As a data manager
- C. As a data processor
- D. As a data supervisor
Answer: C
Explanation:
The data privacy leader needs to identify all the personal data that the Company has received from the retailer, as well as the purposes, retention periods, and sharing practices of such data.
Since the data inventory is obsolete, the data privacy leader cannot rely on it to provide accurate and complete information. Therefore, the next best source of information is to interview the key marketing personnel who are responsible for the partnership with the retailer and the use of the personal data. The marketing personnel can provide insights into the data flows, the data categories, the data processing activities, and the data protection measures that the Company has implemented. They can also help the data privacy leader to locate the relevant documents, contracts, and records that can support the investigation.
NEW QUESTION # 53
Privacy Is Hiring Inc., a CA-based company, is an online specialty recruiting firm focusing on placing privacy professionals in roles at major companies. Job candidates create online profiles outlining their experience and credentials, and can pay $19.99/month via credit card to have their profiles promoted to potential employers. Privacy Is Hiring Inc. keeps all customer data at rest encrypted on its servers.
Under what circumstances would Privacy Is Hiring Inc., need to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach?
- A. If Privacy Is Hiring Inc., reasonably believes that job candidates will be harmed by the data breach.
- B. If law enforcement has completed its investigation and has authorized Privacy Is Hiring Inc. to provide the notification to clients and applicable regulators.
- C. If the job candidates' credit card information and the encryption keys were among the information taken.
- D. If the personal information stolen included the individuals' names and credit card pin numbers.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), a business that collects personal information of California residents must notify them of a data breach if their personal information is subject to unauthorized access and exfiltration, theft, or disclosure as a result of the business's violation of the duty to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices. However, the CCPA excludes encrypted or redacted personal information from the definition of personal information, unless the encryption key or security credential is also compromised. Therefore, Privacy Is Hiring Inc. would need to notify the affected individuals only if the encryption keys were also taken along with the credit card information, as this would render the encryption ineffective and expose the personal information to unauthorized access.
NEW QUESTION # 54
Which of the following data elements is most likely to be subject to comprehensive state data security and privacy laws?
- A. Contact details of individuals who report emergencies, maintained by local authorities
- B. Users' sexual orientations, maintained by a social media website
- C. Individual drivers' license numbers, maintained by a state agency.
- D. Account holders' social security numbers, maintained by a bank.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Social security numbers (SSNs) are one of the most sensitive types of personally identifiable information (PII) and are subject to comprehensive data security and privacy laws at both the federal and state levels.
Banks, as financial institutions, are subject to strict regulations under laws like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and state privacy laws regarding the safeguarding of sensitive data like SSNs.
Why Social Security Numbers are Most Likely to Be Covered:
* SSNs are a high-value target for identity theft, making their protection a focus of numerous privacy and data security laws.
* Federal laws like GLBA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) impose strict data security requirements on financial institutions.
* State laws, such as those in California, often require businesses to protect SSNs and notify individuals in the event of a breach involving sensitive information.
Explanation of Options:
* A. Account holders' social security numbers, maintained by a bank:This is correct because SSNs are consistently protected under comprehensive laws at both the federal and state levels.
* B. Users' sexual orientations, maintained by a social media website:While sexual orientation may be considered sensitive data under certain laws (e.g., GDPR in the EU), U.S. privacy laws do not consistently regulate this information.
* C. Individual drivers' license numbers, maintained by a state agency:While some states regulate drivers' license data, this information is not comprehensively covered under state privacy laws.
* D. Contact details of individuals who report emergencies, maintained by local authorities:This information is regulated in limited circumstances (e.g., Freedom of Information Act or public records laws) but is not subject to comprehensive state privacy laws.
References from CIPP/US Materials:
* GLBA and FCRA: Highlight the importance of safeguarding sensitive financial information such as SSNs.
* State Data Breach Notification Laws: Many states explicitly list SSNs as a protected data element.
