  1. technology constraints.
  2. regulatory requirements.
  3. litigation potential.
  4. business strategy.

Which of the following represents the MAJOR focus of privacy regulations?

  1. Unrestricted data mining
  2. Identity theft
  3. Human rights protection
  4. Identifiable personal data

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Protection of identifiable personal data is the major focus of recent privacy regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Data mining is an accepted tool for ad hoc reporting; it could pose a threat to privacy only if it violates regulatory provisions. Identity theft is a potential consequence of privacy violations but not the main focus of many regulations. Human rights addresses privacy issues but is not the main focus of regulations.



Investments in information security technologies should be based on:

  1. vulnerability assessments.
  2. value analysis.
  3. business climate.
  4. audit recommendations.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Investments in security technologies should be based on a value analysis and a sound business case. Demonstrated value takes precedence over the current business climate because it is ever changing. Basing decisions on audit recommendations would be reactive in nature and might not address the key business needs comprehensively. Vulnerability assessments are useful, but they do not determine whether the cost is justified.



Retention of business records should PRIMARILY be based on:

  1. business strategy and direction.
  2. regulatory and legal requirements.
  3. storage capacity and longevity.
  4. business ease and value analysis.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Retention of business records is generally driven by legal and regulatory requirements. Business strategy and direction would not normally apply nor would they override legal and regulatory requirements. Storage capacity and longevity are important but secondary issues. Business case and value analysis would be secondary to complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
