Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 186

Which of the following BEST enables an IT privacy practitioner to ensure appropriate protection for personal data collected that is required to provide necessary services?

Answer options

• A. Understanding the data flows within the organization
• B. Implementing strong access controls on a need-to-know basis
• C. Anonymizing privacy data during collection and recording
• D. Encrypting the data throughout its life cycle

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Understanding the data flows within the organization is crucial as it allows the practitioner to identify where personal data is stored, processed, and shared, ensuring effective protection measures are in place. The other options, while important, are more focused on specific security measures that do not provide a holistic view of data handling practices.
