Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 209

What is the goal of technologies such as multiparty computation and differential privacy?

Answer options

• A. To provide an appropriate technical and organizational level of security appropriate to the risk
• B. To standardize privacy activities across organizational groups
• C. To protect sensitive data while maintaining its utility
• D. To process the data in order to remove identifiers

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because multiparty computation and differential privacy are designed to enable the use of sensitive data while ensuring that privacy is maintained. Options A and B focus on security measures and standardization, which are not the primary objectives of these technologies. Option D, while related to privacy, does not encompass the broader goal of maintaining data utility.
