Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 125
A recently issued privacy regulation requires that customer data be deleted within a certain timeframe upon customer request. What is an organization’s MOST important consideration related to compliance with this regulation?
Answer options
- A. Access privileges to customer information
- B. Classification policies related to customer information
- C. Knowing the retention schedule for customer information
- D. Knowing the storage location of customer information
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The most crucial consideration for compliance is knowing the storage location of customer information, as this directly impacts the ability to efficiently delete data upon request. While access privileges, classification policies, and retention schedules are important, they do not directly facilitate the physical action of deletion as knowing the storage location does.
