QuestionQ72

Privacy Program Framework

Which of the following would not help integrate privacy requirements and representation into functional areas throughout an organization?

  • A Creating a structure that provides a communication chain (formally and informally) that a privacy professional can use in performing key data protection activities.
  • B Creating a governance structure composed of representatives from each business function and geographic region in which the organization has a presence.
  • C Creating a program where the privacy officer (or privacy team) can lead on privacy matters by having exclusive responsibility to execute the privacy mission.
  • D Creating a privacy committee or council composed of various stakeholders.
Explanation

Effective organizational privacy governance depends on shared responsibility across business functions and regions, supported by communication channels and cross-functional privacy committees or councils. A privacy officer or privacy team can lead and coordinate the privacy program, but exclusive responsibility would undermine the functional representation and shared accountability needed to embed privacy across the organization.
