Answer: A

Question 2

SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Henry Home Furnishings has built high-end furniture for nearly forty years. However, the new owner, Anton, has
found some degree of disorganization after touring the company headquarters. His uncle Henry had always
focused on production – not data processing – and Anton is concerned. In several storage rooms, he has found
paper files, disks, and old computers that appear to contain the personal data of current and former employees
and customers. Anton knows that a single break-in could irrevocably damage the company's relationship with
its loyal customers. He intends to set a goal of guaranteed zero loss of personal information.
To this end, Anton originally planned to place restrictions on who was admitted to the physical premises of the
company. However, Kenneth – his uncle's vice president and longtime confidante – wants to hold off on Anton's
idea in favor of converting any paper records held at the company to electronic storage. Kenneth believes this
process would only take one or two years. Anton likes this idea; he envisions a password-protected system that
only he and Kenneth can access.
Anton also plans to divest the company of most of its subsidiaries. Not only will this make his job easier, but it
will simplify the management of the stored data. The heads of subsidiaries like the art gallery and kitchenware
store down the street will be responsible for their own information management. Then, any unneeded subsidiary
data still in Anton's possession can be destroyed within the next few years.
After learning of a recent security incident, Anton realizes that another crucial step will be notifying customers.
Kenneth insists that two lost hard drives in question are not cause for concern; all of the data was encrypted
and not sensitive in nature. Anton does not want to take any chances, however. He intends on sending notice
letters to all employees and customers to be safe.
Anton must also check for compliance with all legislative, regulatory, and market requirements related to
privacy protection. Kenneth oversaw the development of the company's online presence about ten years ago,
but Anton is not confident about his understanding of recent online marketing laws. Anton is assigning another
trusted employee with a law background the task of the compliance assessment. After a thorough analysis,
Anton knows the company should be safe for another five years, at which time he can order another check.
Documentation of this analysis will show auditors due diligence.
Anton has started down a long road toward improved management of the company, but he knows the effort is
worth it. Anton wants his uncle's legacy to continue for many years to come.
In terms of compliance with regulatory and legislative changes, Anton has a misconception regarding?

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
