Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Proceed with the project and monitor for data breaches.
Why it's wrong here
The risk must be mitigated or accepted formally before proceeding.
- ✓
Consult with the Data Protection Officer (DPO) to determine if regulatory consultation is necessary.
Why this is correct
If risks remain high, the regulator may need to be involved per GDPR Article 36.
- ✗
Inform the public about the risk to maintain transparency.
Why it's wrong here
Informing the public is not the immediate remediation step for a high-risk internal assessment.
- ✗
Switch to a less intrusive profiling algorithm without re-evaluating the DPIA.
Why it's wrong here
A re-evaluation is necessary to ensure the new algorithm is actually less risky.
