CDPSE Practice Test 4 — 10 Questions

Question 1

When using IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog to map sensitive data, what is the primary purpose of a 'Data Class'?

Accepted Answer

To identify and classify sensitive data patterns. Data classes define the structure of data (e.g., Credit Card Number) to allow automated identification in the catalog.

Answer

To store physical data

Answer

To manage retention policies

Answer

To define user access

Question 2

Which THREE tasks are associated with 'Data Classification' during the life cycle?

Accepted Answer

Identifying sensitive data elements. Identifying data, assigning a label, and applying specific policy rules are the steps in classification.

Answer

Refreshing the server hardware

Answer

Backing up the database

Question 3

When designing a system with k-anonymity, which metric measures the impact of generalization on the utility of the data?

Accepted Answer

Discernibility penalty. Discernibility penalty measures how much the data has been degraded to achieve the k-anonymity requirement.

Answer

Epsilon value

Answer

Entropy loss

Answer

F-score

Question 4

Which TWO outcomes result from effective data classification?

Accepted Answer

Improved application of security controls. Classification enables targeted security controls and informs retention requirements.

Answer

Increased server processing speed

Answer

Reduction in data volume

Answer

Improved user interface design

Question 5

Which THREE components should be included in a data inventory to ensure it is actionable for DSR (Data Subject Request) fulfillment?

Accepted Answer

Storage location. To fulfill a DSR, you must know what the data is, who owns it, and where it resides.

Answer

Server uptime percentage

Answer

Network bandwidth usage

Question 6

A CDPSE is reviewing a vendor's privacy controls. Which finding would be considered a major non-compliance risk?

Accepted Answer

The vendor lacks a documented process for handling data subject erasure requests.. Failure to provide a data subject right to erasure is a critical violation of privacy regulations.

Answer

The vendor uses a different database encryption algorithm than the organization.

Answer

The vendor's privacy policy is not written in the user's native language.

Answer

The vendor only updates their privacy policy once every two years.

Question 7

Which THREE documents are typically required for compliance with global privacy regulations?

Accepted Answer

Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with third-party vendors.. A privacy notice, ROPA, and data processing agreements are standard compliance artifacts.

Answer

A daily log of all staff internet activity.

Answer

A list of all company-issued laptops.

Question 8

A practitioner is deploying a Google Cloud Storage bucket. To ensure that files containing PII are automatically redacted before being accessed by external users, which Cloud DLP action should be integrated?

Accepted Answer

Cloud DLP de-identification template. Cloud DLP (Data Loss Prevention) triggers can be integrated to inspect and redact content in Cloud Storage.

Answer

IAM conditions

Answer

Storage Transfer Service

Answer

Bucket lock

Question 9

When using Homomorphic Encryption, what is the primary limitation for a privacy engineer to consider?

Accepted Answer

Computational overhead. Homomorphic encryption is extremely computationally intensive, often causing significant performance degradation.

Answer

Data loss during processing

Answer

Inability to perform search

Answer

Lack of vendor support

Question 10

You are integrating a homomorphic encryption library into a cloud-based financial system. What is the primary trade-off you must communicate to stakeholders regarding the implementation of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)?

Accepted Answer

Significant latency during computation. FHE is computationally expensive, leading to significant latency increases for complex analytical operations on encrypted data.

Answer

Incompatibility with cloud storage

Answer

Increased storage requirements

Answer

Loss of data integrity
