Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 83

Answer options

• A. Relationships with individuals within the privacy professional community who are able to share expertise and leading practices for different industries.
• B. Relationships with clients, vendors, and customers whose data will be primarily collected and used throughout the organizational program.
• C. Relationships with company leaders responsible for approving, implementing, and periodically reviewing the corporate privacy program.
• D. Relationships with individuals across company departments and at different levels in the organization’s hierarchy.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because building relationships across various departments and levels within the organization provides a comprehensive understanding of privacy needs and challenges. Options A, B, and C are valuable, but they primarily focus on external expertise or specific roles, which may not capture the diverse perspectives necessary for an effective privacy program.
