QuestionQ201

The U.S. Privacy Environment

When creating a company privacy program, which relationship would best help a privacy professional develop practical guidance for the organization?

  • A Relationships with individuals within the privacy professional community who are able to share expertise and leading practices for different industries.
  • B Relationships with clients, vendors, and customers whose data will be primarily collected and used throughout the organizational program.
  • C Relationships with company leaders responsible for approving, implementing, and periodically reviewing the corporate privacy program.
  • D Relationships with individuals across company departments and at different levels in the organization’s hierarchy.
Explanation

Effective privacy guidance requires input from the business functions and personnel that design, operate, and manage processing activities. Cross-functional relationships at multiple organizational levels reveal operational practices and allow privacy requirements to be translated into guidance that can be applied throughout the organization. The ICO’s privacy-management guidance likewise emphasizes embedding data protection across the organization and giving staff in teams and departments opportunities to discuss privacy issues.
