Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 280

The European Union passed the first major regulation declaring data privacy to be a human right. In what year did it go into effect?

Answer options

• A. 2010
• B. 2000
• C. 1995
• D. 1990

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 1995, as that is the year when the EU enacted the Data Protection Directive, which acknowledged data privacy as a fundamental right. The other options, 2010, 2000, and 1990, do not correspond to the year when this landmark regulation came into effect.
