Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 72

The rules for “e-discovery” mainly prevent which of the following?

Answer options

• A. A conflict between business practice and technological safeguards
• B. The loss of information due to poor data retention practices
• C. The practice of employees using personal devices for work
• D. A breach of an organization’s data retention program

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as e-discovery rules are designed to ensure that information is preserved and not lost due to inadequate data retention methods. Options A and D refer to conflicts and breaches that may occur but are not the primary focus of e-discovery. Option C is about the usage of personal devices, which is unrelated to the specific goals of e-discovery regulations.
