Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) — Question 197

An organization is establishing a mission statement for its privacy program. Which of the following statements would be the best to use?

Answer options

• A. This privacy program encourages cross-organizational collaboration which will stop all data breaches
• B. Our organization was founded in 2054 to reduce the chance of a future disaster like the one that occurred ten years ago. All individuals from our area of the country should be concerned about a future disaster. However, with our privacy program, they should not be concerned about the misuse of their information.
• C. The goal of the privacy program is to protect the privacy of all individuals who support our organization. To meet this goal, we must work to comply with all applicable privacy laws.
• D. In the next 20 years, our privacy program should be able to eliminate 80% of our current breaches. To do this, everyone in our organization must complete our annual privacy training course and all personally identifiable information must be inventoried.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is the best choice as it clearly articulates the purpose of the privacy program and emphasizes compliance with privacy laws, which is essential for effective privacy management. Options A and D are overly ambitious and unrealistic, while option B lacks focus on the specific mission of the privacy program and presents a vague concern about future disasters.
