Question 1

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Amira is thrilled about the sudden expansion of NatGen. As the joint Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with her

long-time business partner Sadie, Amira has watched the company grow into a major competitor in the green

energy market. The current line of products includes wind turbines, solar energy panels, and equipment for

geothermal systems. A talented team of developers means that NatGen's line of products will only continue to

grow.

With the expansion, Amira and Sadie have received advice from new senior staff members brought on to help

manage the company's growth. One recent suggestion has been to combine the legal and security functions of

the company to ensure observance of privacy laws and the company's own privacy policy. This sounds overly

complicated to Amira, who wants departments to be able to use, collect, store, and dispose of customer data in

ways that will best suit their needs. She does not want administrative oversight and complex structuring to get

in the way of people doing innovative work.

Sadie has a similar outlook. The new Chief Information Officer (CIO) has proposed what Sadie believes is an

unnecessarily long timetable for designing a new privacy program. She has assured him that NatGen will use

the best possible equipment for electronic storage of customer and employee data. She simply needs a list of

equipment and an estimate of its cost. But the CIO insists that many issues are necessary to consider before

the company gets to that stage.

Regardless, Sadie and Amira insist on giving employees space to do their jobs. Both CEOs want to entrust the

monitoring of employee policy compliance to low-level managers. Amira and Sadie believe these managers can

adjust the company privacy policy according to what works best for their particular departments. NatGen's

CEOs know that flexible interpretations of the privacy policy in the name of promoting green energy would be

highly unlikely to raise any concerns with their customer base, as long as the data is always used in course of

normal business activities.

Perhaps what has been most perplexing to Sadie and Amira has been the CIO's recommendation to institute a

privacy compliance hotline. Sadie and Amira have relented on this point, but they hope to compromise by

allowing employees to take turns handling reports of privacy policy violations. The implementation will be easy

because the employees need no special preparation. They will simply have to document any concerns they

hear.

Sadie and Amira are aware that it will be challenging to stay true to their principles and guard against corporate

culture strangling creativity and employee morale. They hope that all senior staff will see the benefit of trying a

unique approach.

What Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) principle should the company follow if they end up allowing

departments to interpret the privacy policy differently?

Options :

A : Prove the authenticity of the company-s records.

B : Arrange for official credentials for staff members

C : Adequately document reasons for inconsistencies

D : Create categories to reflect degrees of data importance.

Answer: C

Question 2

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Richard McAdams recently graduated law school and decided to return to the small town of Lexington, Virginia

to help run his aging grandfather's law practice. The elder McAdams desired a limited, lighter role in the

practice, with the hope that his grandson would eventually take over when he fully retires. In addition to hiring

Richard, Mr. McAdams employs two paralegals, an administrative assistant, and a part-time IT specialist who

handles all of their basic networking needs. He plans to hire more employees once Richard gets settled and

assesses the office's strategies for growth.

Immediately upon arrival, Richard was amazed at the amount of work that needed to done in order to

modernize the office, mostly in regard to the handling of clients' personal data. His first goal is to digitize all the

records kept in file cabinets, as many of the documents contain personally identifiable financial and medical

data. Also, Richard has noticed the massive amount of copying by the administrative assistant throughout the

day, a practice that not only adds daily to the number of files in the file cabinets, but may create security issues

unless a formal policy is firmly in place Richard is also concerned with the overuse of the communal copier/

printer located in plain view of clients who frequent the building. Yet another area of concern is the use of the

same fax machine by all of the employees. Richard hopes to reduce its use dramatically in order to ensure that

personal data receives the utmost security and protection, and eventually move toward a strict Internet faxing

policy by the year's end.

Richard expressed his concerns to his grandfather, who agreed, that updating data storage, data security, and

an overall approach to increasing the protection of personal data in all facets is necessary Mr. McAdams

granted him the freedom and authority to do so. Now Richard is not only beginning a career as an attorney, but

also functioning as the privacy officer of the small firm. Richard plans to meet with the IT employee the following

day, to get insight into how the office computer system is currently set-up and managed.

Richard believes that a transition from the use of fax machine to Internet faxing provides all of the following

security benefits EXCEPT?

Options :

A : Greater accessibility to the faxes at an off-site location.

B : The ability to encrypt the transmitted faxes through a secure server.

C : Reduction of the risk of data being seen or copied by unauthorized personnel.

D : The ability to store faxes electronically, either on the user-s PC or a password-protected network server.
