Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) — Question 242

As the Data Protection Officer (DPO) for the growing company, Vision 3468, what would be the most cost effective way to monitor changes in laws and regulations?

Answer options

• A. Engage an external lawyer.
• B. Regularly engage regulators.
• C. Attend workshops and interact with other professionals.
• D. Subscribe to mailing lists that report on regulatory changes.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Subscribing to mailing lists that report on regulatory changes is the most cost-effective solution as it offers continuous updates at a low cost. Engaging an external lawyer and regularly interacting with regulators can be expensive and time-consuming. Attending workshops and networking, while beneficial, may not provide the same level of timely information as a dedicated mailing list.
