Answer options

• A. Obtain executive support.
• B. Develop a data privacy policy.
• C. Gather privacy requirements from legal counsel.
• D. Create a comprehensive data inventory.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Gaining executive support is crucial as it ensures that the strategy receives the necessary resources and prioritization from leadership. Without this backing, other efforts like developing policies or gathering requirements may lack the authority and funding needed for effective implementation. Therefore, while the other options are important, they should follow the establishment of strong executive support.
