In day to day interactions with technology, consumers are presented with privacy choices. Which of the following best represents the Privacy by Design (PbD) methodology of letting the user choose a non-zero-sum choice?
An EU marketing company is planning to make use of personal data captured to make automated decisions based on profiling. In some cases, processing and automated decisions may have a legal effect on individuals, such as credit worthiness.
When evaluating the implementation of systems making automated decisions, in which situation would the company have to accommodate an individual’s right NOT to be subject to such processing to ensure compliance under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
Which of the following occurs when an individual takes a specific observable action to indicate and confirm that they give permission for their information to be processed?
Which privacy engineering objective proposed by the US National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) decreases privacy risk by ensuring that connections between individuals and their personal data are reduced?
Ivan is a nurse for a home healthcare service provider in the US. The company has implemented a mobile application which Ivan uses to record a patient's vital statistics and access a patient's health care records during home visits. During one visitj^van is unable to access the health care application to record the patient's vitals. He instead records the information on his mobile phone's note-taking application to enter the data in the health care application the next time it is accessible. What would be the best course of action by the IT department to ensure the data is protected on his device?
SCENARIO
Wesley Energy has finally made its move, acquiring the venerable oil and gas exploration firm Lancelot from its long-time owner David Wilson. As a member of the transition team, you have come to realize that Wilson's quirky nature affected even Lancelot's data practices, which are maddeningly inconsistent. “The old man hired and fired IT people like he was changing his necktie,” one of Wilson’s seasoned lieutenants tells you, as you identify the traces of initiatives left half complete.
For instance, while some proprietary data and personal information on clients and employees is encrypted, other sensitive information, including health information from surveillance testing of employees for toxic exposures, remains unencrypted, particularly when included within longer records with less-sensitive data. You also find that data is scattered across applications, servers and facilities in a manner that at first glance seems almost random.
Among your preliminary findings of the condition of data at Lancelot are the following:
Cloud technology is supplied by vendors around the world, including firms that you have not heard of. You are told by a former Lancelot employee that these vendors operate with divergent security requirements and protocols.
The company’s proprietary recovery process for shale oil is stored on servers among a variety of less-sensitive information that can be accessed not only by scientists, but by personnel of all types at most company locations.
DES is the strongest encryption algorithm currently used for any file.
Several company facilities lack physical security controls, beyond visitor check-in, which familiar vendors often bypass.
Fixing all of this will take work, but first you need to grasp the scope of the mess and formulate a plan of action to address it.
Which is true regarding the type of encryption Lancelot uses?
