Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) — Question 36

All of the following changes will likely trigger a data inventory update EXCEPT?

Answer options

• A. Outsourcing the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) function.
• B. Acquisition of a new subsidiary.
• C. Onboarding of a new vendor.
• D. Passage of a new privacy regulation.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the passage of a new privacy regulation does not directly alter the existing data inventory, while the other options involve changes in operations that would likely require an update to how data is managed. Outsourcing, acquiring a new subsidiary, and onboarding a vendor all involve new data handling processes that need to be reflected in the data inventory.
