Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 24

Which of the following is MOST important to ensure when reviewing processes associated with the destruction of data?

Answer options

• A. The destruction of data is performed on site.
• B. The destruction of data is witnessed.
• C. The destruction is performed by a certified provider.
• D. The destruction method is approved by the data owner.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because obtaining the data owner's approval for the destruction method ensures that the process aligns with the organization's security policies and data protection requirements. Options A and B, while important, do not guarantee the security and compliance of the process. Option C is relevant but does not address the critical need for the owner's consent on the destruction method.
