Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 269

The web design team incorporated asterisks (*) next to all the PII (Personally Identifiable Information) fields in a web intake form. An asterisk signifies a mandatory field. Which of the following is an essential step prior to the web intake form go-live date?

Answer options

• A. Analyze intake forms for similar use-cases available on the web and the competitors.
• B. Test the form using synthetic data to ensure it works to determine privacy functionality.
• C. Check with the web-development team on how to enforce input validation for the mandatory fields.
• D. Speak with the company’s intake team on the appropriate number of data elements that the intake team requires to execute the use-case.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is vital as it ensures that the intake form collects the necessary data elements required for the use-case, aligning with the needs of the intake team. Options A, B, and C are important steps as well, but they do not directly address the need to confirm the specific data requirements before launching the form.
