Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 89

When designing a new system, which of the following is a privacy threat that the privacy technologist should consider?

Answer options

• A. Encryption
• B. Social distancing
• C. Social engineering
• D. Identity and Access Management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Social engineering, as it refers to manipulation techniques that exploit human psychology to gain confidential information. Other options, while relevant to security, do not directly represent privacy threats; for instance, Encryption (A) protects data, Social distancing (B) is a health guideline, and Identity and Access Management (D) is about controlling access rather than a privacy threat.
