One of the foundational goals of data privacy laws is to give people rights over the collection of personal data, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of their data. Privacy laws also aim to protect people’s dignity, autonomy, and self-determination in relation to their personal data. The other options are not accurate or complete descriptions of the purpose of data privacy laws.

The primary consideration of a multinational organization deploying a user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) tool to centralize the monitoring of anomalous employee behavior is cross-border data transfer, because it may involve the transfer of personal data across different jurisdictions with different privacy laws and regulations. The organization needs to ensure that it complies with the applicable legal requirements and safeguards the privacy rights of its employees when transferring their data to a central location for analysis. The other options are secondary or operational considerations that may not have a significant impact on the privacy of the employees.

The primary means by which an organization communicates customer rights as it relates to the use of their personal information is publishing a privacy notice. A privacy notice is a document that informs the customers about how the organization collects, uses, shares, and protects their personal information, and what rights and choices they have regarding their data4. A privacy notice is a legal requirement under many data protection laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)5 . A privacy notice is also a good practice to demonstrate the organization’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and customer trust. References:

Code review is a primary element of application and software hardening. Code review is a process of examining the source code of an application or software to identify and fix errors, vulnerabilities, or inefficiencies that may compromise its functionality, security, or performance. Code review can help prevent common security risks such as buffer overflows, SQL injections, cross-site scripting, or logic flaws. Code review can also help improve the quality, readability, maintainability, and usability of the code. Code review can be done manually by developers or peers, or automatically by tools such as static code analyzers or code quality checkers.

Vulnerability analysis, database configuration, and software repository are also important for application and software hardening, but they are not primary elements. Vulnerability analysis is a process of identifying and assessing the weaknesses or flaws in an application or software that may expose it to attacks or exploitation. Vulnerability analysis can be done by tools such as vulnerability scanners or penetration testers. Database configuration is a process of setting up and managing the parameters, options, or features of a database system that stores or processes data for an application or software. Database configuration can include aspects such as access control, encryption, backup, recovery, performance tuning, or replication. Software repository is a location where the source code, binaries, or documentation of an application or software are stored and managed. Software repository can facilitate version control, collaboration, distribution, or deployment of the application or software.

A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is a process of analyzing the potential privacy risks and impacts of collecting, using, and disclosing personal data. A PIA should be conducted when there is a change in the data processing activities that may affect the privacy of individuals or the compliance with data protection laws and regulations. One of the scenarios that should trigger the completion of a PIA is when there are new inter-organizational data flows, which means that personal data is shared or transferred between different entities or jurisdictions. This may introduce new privacy risks, such as unauthorized access, misuse, or breach of data, as well as new legal obligations, such as obtaining consent, ensuring adequate safeguards, or notifying authorities.

Data sanitization is a process of permanently erasing or destroying data from a storage device or media to prevent unauthorized access or recovery of the data. Data sanitization methods can include physical destruction, degaussing, overwriting, encryption or cryptographic erasure. The most important consideration when using advanced data sanitization methods to ensure privacy data will be unrecoverable is the type of media on which the data is stored, as different media types may require different methods or techniques to achieve effective sanitization. For example, physical destruction may be suitable for optical disks or tapes, but not for solid state drives (SSDs) or flash memory devices. Degaussing may be effective for magnetic disks or tapes, but not for optical disks or SSDs. Overwriting may work for hard disk drives (HDDs) or SSDs, but not for tapes or optical disks. Encryption or cryptographic erasure may be applicable for any media type, but may require additional security measures to protect the encryption keys or certificates. The other options are not as important as the type of media when using advanced data sanitization methods. Subject matter expertise may be helpful, but not essential, as long as the appropriate method is selected and applied correctly. Regulatory compliance requirements may influence the choice of method, but not necessarily determine it, as different methods may meet different standards or criteria. Location of data may affect the feasibility or cost of applying a method, but not its effectiveness or suitability., p. 93-94 References: : CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version)

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 tabletop exercise is a simulated scenario that tests the organization’s ability to respond to a privacy breach incident in a realistic and interactive way. A tabletop exercise can help the organization to evaluate the roles and responsibilities of the incident response team, identify the gaps and weaknesses in the plan, improve the communication and coordination among the stakeholders, and update the plan based on the lessons learned and best practices12. A tabletop exercise can also enhance the awareness and readiness of the organization to handle privacy breach incidents in a timely and effective manner3. References:

A multinational organization that operates across different countries and regions should perform an annual review of changes to privacy regulations in all jurisdictions where its corporate data is processed. This is because different jurisdictions may have different privacy laws and requirements that apply to the collection, use, storage, transfer, and disposal of personal data. For example, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any organization that processes personal data of individuals in the EU, regardless of where the organization is located or where the data is processed. Therefore, the organization should keep track of the changes to privacy regulations in all relevant jurisdictions and update its data privacy policy accordingly to ensure compliance and avoid penalties or lawsuits.
