NEW QUESTION # 27
Which of the following mechanisms or steps is/are likely to be taken by an organization for implementing a privacy program?
i. Deploying physical and technology safeguards to protect personal information assets ii. Privacy consideration in product and service design iii. Privacy implementation to focus only on projects impacted by privacy breaches iv. Benchmarking against industry peers' privacy implementation v. Installing privacy enhancing tools and technologies for the projects dealing with organization's Intellectual Property
- A. Only i and ii
- B. Only i, ii and iv
- C. i, ii, iii and iv
- D. All except iii
Answer: D
Explanation:
Effective privacy implementation includes:
* i: Deploying physical and tech safeguards
* ii: Embedding privacy in product and service design (Privacy by Design)
* iv: Learning through benchmarking industry practices
* v: Using Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), although privacy for IP is less relevant compared to personal data, it still supports privacy infrastructure iii is incorrect because focusing only on breach-impacted projects is a reactive approach, which contradicts the proactive ethos of privacy frameworks like DPF.
NEW QUESTION # 28
Classify the following scenario as major or minor non-conformity.
"The organization is aware of the PI dealt by it at a broad level based on the business services provided but does not have the detailed view of which business functions, processes or relationships deal with what types of PI including usage, access, transmission, storage, etc."
- A. Minor
- B. None of the above
- C. Both MajorandMinor
- D. Major
Answer: D
Explanation:
This scenario represents a major non-conformity under DAF#P. Lack of detailed visibility into personal information across business functions and processes suggests a foundational weakness in the privacy program.
This absence of specific knowledge impairs risk assessment, control implementation, and compliance alignment - key elements for a robust privacy framework.

NEW QUESTION # 33
__________ calls for inclusion of data protection from the onset of the designing of systems.
- A. Privacy by Design
- B. Agile Model
- C. Safeguarding Approach
- D. Logical Design
Answer: A
Explanation:
The concept of "Privacy by Design" is a core principle emphasized in the DSCI Privacy Framework (DPF©) and DSCI Assessment Framework for Privacy (DAF-P©). This principle requires that privacy be integrated into the design specifications and architecture of IT systems and business processes, right from the start of the development process rather than being added later as an afterthought.
The DSCI Privacy Framework states:
"Privacy by Design is a proactive approach that embeds privacy into the design and operation of IT systems, networked infrastructure, and business practices. It aims to ensure that privacy is built into the system by default, thereby preventing privacy-invasive events before they happen." This ensures data protection is foundational to system architecture and not merely a compliance requirement added later. This proactive method mitigates risks and enhances user trust by safeguarding personal information through preventive measures rather than reactive ones.
NEW QUESTION # 34
As a newly appointed Data Protection officer of an IT company gearing up for DSCI's privacy certification, you are trying to understand what data elements are involved in each of the business process, function and if these data elements can be classified as sensitive personal information. What is being accomplished with this effort?
- A. Organization to get "Visibility" over its exposure to sensitive personal information

NEW QUESTION # 35
What is a Data Subject? (Choose all that apply.)
- A. A company providing PI of its employees for processing
- B. An individual whose data/information is processed
- C. An individual who processes the data/information of individuals for providing necessary services
- D. An individual who provides his/her data/information for availing any service
- E. An individual who collects data from illegitimate sources
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
According to the DSCI Privacy Framework and aligned international frameworks such as GDPR and APEC, a
"Data Subject" refers to:
"An identified or identifiable natural person to whom the personal data relates." This includes individuals whose data is being collected, held, or processed by any entity. Thus:
* A (an individual providing their data to avail a service) is a data subject because the data is about them.
* C (an individual whose data/information is processed) directly matches the definition.
Options B, D, and E refer to entities or persons involved in processing or handling the data, not the individuals to whom the data belongs.
NEW QUESTION # 36
FILL BLANK
RCI and PCM
In April 2011, the rules were issued under Section 43A of the IT Act by the Government of India and the
'body corporates' were required to comply with these rules. The Corporate legal team tried to understand and interpret the rules but struggled to understand its applicability esp. to client relationships and business functions. So, the company hired an IT Act legal expert to advise them on the Section 43A rules.
To start with, the company identified the PI dealt with by business functions as part of the earlier visibility exercise, but it wanted to reassure itself. Therefore, a specific exercise was conducted to revisit 'sensitive personal information' dealt by business functions. It was realized that the company collects lot of SPI of its employees and therefore 'reasonable security practices' need to be adhered to by the functions that deal with SPI. It was also ascertained that many of this SPI is being dealt by third parties, some of which are also located outside India. To meet the requirements of the rules, the company reviewed all the contracts and inserted a clause - 'the service provider shall implement reasonable security practices and procedures as per the IT (Amendment) Act, 2008'. Some of the large service providers were ISO 27001 certified and they claimed that they fulfill the requirements of 'reasonable security practices'. However, some SME service providers did not understand what would 'reasonable security practices' imply and requested the company to clarify, which referred them to Rule 8 of the Section 43A. Some small scale service providers expressed their unwillingness to get ISO certified, given the costs involved.
(Note: Candidates are requested to make and state assumptions wherever appropriate to reach a definitive conclusion) Introduction and Background XYZ is a major India based IT and Business Process Management (BPM) service provider listed at BSE and NSE. It has more than 1.5 lakh employees operating in 100 offices across 30 countries. It serves more than
500 clients across industry verticals - BFSI, Retail, Government, Healthcare, Telecom among others in Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company provides IT services including application development and maintenance, IT Infrastructure management, consulting, among others. It also offers IT products mainly for its BFSI customers.
The company is witnessing phenomenal growth in the BPM services over last few years including FinanceandAccounting including credit card processing, Payroll processing, Customer support, Legal Process Outsourcing, among others and has rolled out platform based services. Most of the company's revenue comes from the US from the BFSI sector. In order to diversify its portfolio, the company is looking to expand its operations in Europe. India, too has attracted company's attention given the phenomenal increase in domestic IT spend esp. by the government through various large scale IT projects. The company is also very aggressive in the cloud and mobility space, with a strong focus on delivery of cloud services. When it comes to expanding operations in Europe, company is facing difficulties in realizing the full potential of the market because of privacy related concerns of the clients arising from the stringent regulatory requirements based on EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).
To get better access to this market, the company decided to invest in privacy, so that it is able to provide increased assurance to potential clients in the EU and this will also benefit its US operations because privacy concerns are also on rise in the US. It will also help company leverage outsourcing opportunities in the Healthcare sector in the US which would involve protection of sensitive medical records of the US citizens.
The company believes that privacy will also be a key differentiator in the cloud business going forward. In short, privacy was taken up as a strategic initiative in the company in early 2011.
Since XYZ had an internal consulting arm, it assigned the responsibility of designing and implementing an enterprise wide privacy program to the consulting arm. The consulting arm had very good expertise in information security consulting but had limited expertise in the privacy domain. The project was to be driven by CIO's office, in close consultation with the Corporate Information Security and Legal functions.
Did the company take sufficient steps to protect SPI dealt by its service providers and ensure that it complies with the regulatory requirements? Was referring to 'reasonable security practices' sufficient in the contracts or the company should have also considered some other measures for privacy protection as well? (250 to 500 words)
Answer:
Explanation:
See the answer in explanation below.
Explanation:
The consulting arm of XYZ developed a comprehensive privacy program in line with the company's goal to leverage its existing technology infrastructure, resources and capabilities for protecting data. The program had three parts - awareness and training, policy development and implementation. On the awareness front, extensive training was conducted for employees on various aspects of privacy including GDPR compliance.
This was followed by the development and rollout of an enterprise-wide privacy policy which clearly defined the various steps to be taken to protect sensitive personal information (SPI) such as encryption, access controls etc. After this, customer contracts were reviewed for appropriate protection clauses and service providers were made to sign 'reasonable security practices' clauses in their contractual obligations as specified in EU GDPR.
At first glance, it seemed that XYZ had taken adequate steps to protect SPI dealt by its service providers and ensure that it complies with the regulatory requirements. However, on careful scrutiny, there were some lacunae in the program. For instance, as per EU GDPR, personal data must be pseudonymized or encrypted prior to transfer from one entity to another. In this case, though encryption was mentioned in the policy documents but there were no specific measures given for ensuring proper encryption of data before any transfer. Similarly, 'reasonable security practices' clause was included in customer contracts but there was no mention of any tools like firewalls or other means of protecting sensitive information which could have further strengthened the privacy protection efforts made by the company.
Thus, it is clear that XYZ did made some efforts to comply with the EU GDPR but in order to ensure full compliance, more specific measures should have been taken and all contractual obligations must be such that they clearly define the security and privacy controls that need to be put in place between customer/client and service provider. This would further give customers greater assurance of privacy protection from XYZ's services. Going forward, XYZ can consider investing in more advanced technologies like biometrics authentication etc for maximum security of data. Furthermore, the company should also ensure periodic reviews of its policy documents and contracts so as to ensure better protection of sensitive personal information.
Overall, though XYZ took some reasonable steps to protect SPI of its customers, it should have done more by introducing advanced security measures and including stringent contractual obligations for service providers.
This would have enabled the company to achieve full compliance with EU GDPR and ensure greater security of customer's personal data.
NEW QUESTION # 37
Which of the following statements is true with respect to organization's privacy training and awareness program?
- A. It should define roles and responsibilities of personnel in privacy function
- B. None of the above
- C. It should cover employees of service provider dealing with personal information
- D. It should necessarily cover officials from Law Enforcement Agencies that request lawful access to personal information
Answer: C
Explanation:
The DSCI Privacy Framework emphasizes that a privacy training and awareness program should:
* Be role-based and targeted towards those who directly handle or have access to personal information
* Include not just internal employees but also extend to third-party vendors and service providers who process personal information on behalf of the organization (B) Officials from Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) are not part of an organization's training scope; instead, interactions with LEAs are governed by legal access procedures, not internal training.
Therefore, option B is correct.
NEW QUESTION # 38
Which of the following is the most effective way of ensuring the conformity to legalandregulations from the business functions, processes and relationships?
- A. Deploying desktop screens articulating information on regulations and responsibility of the organisation
- B. Customised delivery of information on regulatory and compliance information to the functions, processes and relationships
- C. Providing a special section on regulatory and compliance requirements on internal portal, providing access to respective owner of functions, processes and relationships
- D. Conducting classroom training and awareness sessions on regulatory and compliance requirements
Answer: B
Explanation:
The most effective approach is "customised delivery of information" as per the DSCI Assessment Framework.
This ensures relevance and specificity, allowing functions, processes, and relationships to comply with the exact regulations applicable to them. General information portals or broad awareness sessions are useful but lack the precision and context that customized delivery can offer for regulatory compliance.

NEW QUESTION # 41
Arrange the following techniques in decreasing order of the risk of re-identification:
I) Pseudonymization
II) De-identification
III) Anonymization
- A. III, II, I
- B. All have equal risk of re-identification
- C. I, II
- D. II, III, I
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the DSCI Assessment Framework for Privacy (DAF-P©), the techniques for reducing identifiability differ in their effectiveness:
* Pseudonymizationreplaces identifiable fields within a data record with artificial identifiers. However, if additional information (mapping or lookup tables) exists, re-identification is possible.
* De-identificationremoves or masks identifiers, but residual or quasi-identifiers may still allow re- identification under certain conditions.
* Anonymizationaims to irreversibly remove any link between the data and the identity of the subject, thus presenting the least risk of re-identification.
Therefore, when arranged in decreasing order of re-identification risk:
* Pseudonymization(highest risk)
* De-identification
* Anonymization(lowest risk)
This validates optionA. I, IIas correct.
