Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) — Question 30

What should a privacy professional keep in mind when selecting which metrics to collect?

Answer options

• A. Metrics should be reported to the public.
• B. The number of metrics should be limited at first.
• C. Metrics should reveal strategies for increasing company earnings.
• D. A variety of metrics should be collected before determining their specific functions.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because starting with a limited number of metrics allows for more focused analysis and avoids overwhelming data collection. Options A and C are not relevant as the primary goal is not public reporting or profit strategies, while option D suggests collecting too many metrics without clear purpose, which can complicate the analysis process.
