A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is a systematic process of identifying and evaluating the potential privacy risks and impacts of a data processing activity or system. A PIA helps to ensure that privacy is considered and integrated into the design and development of data processing activities or systems, and that privacy risks are mitigated or eliminated. A PIA also helps to determine the appropriate retention periods for personal data based on the purpose and necessity of the data processing, as well as the legal and regulatory obligations that apply to the data. Therefore, a PIA helps to define data retention time in a stream-fed data lake that includes personal data. References: : CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version), page 99

The first consideration for ensuring that endpoints are protected in line with the privacy policy is hardening the operating systems of endpoint devices. Hardening is a process of applying security configurations and controls to reduce the attack surface and vulnerabilities of an operating system. Hardening can include disabling unnecessary services and features, applying security patches and updates, enforcing strong passwords and encryption, configuring firewall and antivirus settings, and implementing least privilege principles. Hardening the operating systems of endpoint devices can help prevent unauthorized access, data leakage, malware infection, or other threats that may compromise the privacy of personal data stored or processed on those devices.

Detecting malicious access through endpoints, implementing network traffic filtering on endpoint devices, and managing remote access and control are also important aspects of endpoint security, but they are not the first consideration. Rather, they are dependent on or complementary to hardening the operating systems of endpoint devices. For example, detecting malicious access requires having a baseline of normal activity and behavior on the endpoint device, which can be established by hardening. Implementing network traffic filtering requires having a firewall or other network security tool installed and configured on the endpoint device, which is part of hardening. Managing remote access and control requires having authentication and authorization mechanisms in place on the endpoint device, which is also part of hardening.

Providing data subjects direct access through a profile page is the best practice because it supports transparency and control while fulfilling data subject rights (e.g., access, rectification). Limiting edits (A) or disabling modifications (D) restricts rights. Using email to generate IDs (B) is unrelated to enabling data subject access.

“Data subjects should have the ability to view and manage their own information directly.”

System hardening is a process of applying security measures and configurations to a system to reduce its attack surface and enhance its resistance to threats. System hardening can include disabling unnecessary services, removing default accounts, applying patches and updates, enforcing strong passwords and encryption, and implementing firewalls and antivirus software. The primary benefit of system hardening is that it increases system resiliency, which is the ability of a system to withstand or recover from adverse events that could affect its functionality or performance. The other options are not the primary benefits of system hardening, although they may be secondary benefits or outcomes. System hardening does not necessarily reduce external threats to data, as threats can originate from various sources and vectors. System hardening may reduce exposure of data, but only if the data is stored or processed by the system. System hardening does not eliminate attack motivation for data, as attackers may have different motives and incentives for targeting data. , p. 91-92 References: : CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version)

The best way to maintain the quality of personal data is to implement routine automatic validation, which is a process of checking the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness of the data using automated tools or scripts. Routine automatic validation can help identify and correct any errors, anomalies, or discrepancies in the data, as well as ensure that the data meets the specified quality standards and requirements. Routine automatic validation can also help improve the efficiency and reliability of the data processing and analysis12.

National data privacy legislative and regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction are the most important data protection consideration for a global organization that is planning to implement a customer relationship management (CRM) system to be used in offices based in multiple countries, as they would determine the legal obligations and responsibilities of the organization with respect to the collection, use, disclosure and transfer of customer personal data across different jurisdictions. National data privacy legislative and regulatory requirements may vary significantly from country to country, depending on the type or nature of personal data or data processing activities, and may impose different rules and standards for obtaining consent, providing notice, ensuring security, enforcing rights, reporting breaches, appointing representatives or transferring data. The organization would need to comply with the national data privacy legislative and regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction where it operates or where its customers are located, and to implement appropriate measures and safeguards to ensure compliance. The other options are not as important as national data privacy legislative and regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction as data protection considerations for a global organization that is planning to implement a CRM system to be used in offices based in multiple countries. Industry best practice related to information security standards in each relevant jurisdiction may provide some guidance or benchmarks for ensuring security of customer personal data, but they may not reflect the specific context or needs of the organization or the customers, or comply with the legal obligations and responsibilities of the organization. Identity and access management mechanisms to restrict access based on need to know may help to protect customer personal data from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure by internal or external parties, but they may not address other aspects of data protection, such as consent, notice, rights, breaches, representatives or transfers. Encryption algorithms for securing customer personal data at rest and in transit may help to protect customer personal data from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure by internal or external parties, but they may not address other aspects of data protection, such as consent, notice, rights, breaches, representatives or transfers1, p. 63-64 References: 1: CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version)

Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, encrypts and decrypts data using two separate yet mathematically connected cryptographic keys. One key is called the public key and can be shared with anyone, while the other key is called the private key and must be kept secret. The public key is used to encrypt the data, and only the corresponding private key can decrypt it. Likewise, the private key can be used to sign the data, and only the corresponding public key can verify it. This method provides confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation for data.

The best way for an organization to maintain the effectiveness of its privacy breach incident response plan is to conduct annual data privacy tabletop exercises. A data privacy tabletop exercise is a simulated scenario that tests the organization’s ability to respond to a privacy breach incident, such as a data breach, leak, or misuse. A data privacy tabletop exercise involves key stakeholders, such as the privacy office, the information security team, the legal counsel, the public relations team, etc., who role-play their actions and decisions based on the scenario. A data privacy tabletop exercise helps to evaluate and improve the organization’s privacy breach incident response plan, such as identifying gaps or weaknesses, validating roles and responsibilities, verifying procedures and protocols, assessing communication and coordination, etc. References: : CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version), page 83
