Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 55

Which of the following should an IT privacy practitioner review FIRST to understand where personal data is coming from and how it is used within the organization?

Answer options

• A. Data process flow diagrams
• B. Data classification
• C. Data collection standards
• D. Data inventory

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as data process flow diagrams provide a visual representation of how personal data flows through the organization, detailing its sources and uses. The other options, while important, do not offer the comprehensive overview of data movement that flow diagrams do, making them less suitable for an initial review.
