2. ANSWER [Stakeholders involved in ensuring information security]. shared mission statement and
vision is a product of many stakeholders. Thus, it has a better chance of acceptance and success
because it receives greater support and less
resistance to changes in privacy policies, management and direct employee actions when handling
personal information
3. ANSWER [Defining the program's scope and charter]. Now that we have started laying the
groundwork for the establishment of a privacy program by creating a privacy vision or privacy
mission statement, we can move on to discuss additional steps in establishing a privacy program.
Some of these steps include defining the program’s scope and charter, developing a privacy strategy,
and structuring the privacy team.
4. ANSWER [Create a Privacy Mission Statement].
5. ANSWER [It an implementation roadmap that provides the structure or checklists]. • Privacy program
framework – an implementation roadmap that provides the structure or checklists (documented
privacy procedures and processes) to guide the privacy professional through privacy management and
prompts them for the details to determine all privacy-relevant decisions for the organisation
6. ANSWER [Customers' feedback]. It is important to remember that the creation of a privacy program
presents challenges around the globe. Regardless of geographic location, an organization must comply
with laws, cultures, languages and business methods relevant to its objectives and the objectives of its
stakeholders.
7. ANSWER [Monitoring of regulatory activities and multiple jurisdictions ]. Companies that span the
globe will need to develop a global privacy strategy relevant to markets, cultures and geographical
locations. Generally speaking, the privacy organization must understand the global perspective in
order to meet legal, cultural and personal expectations, customize privacy approaches from both
global and local perspectives, be aware of privacy challenges that include translations of laws and
regulations, enforcement activities and processes, and monitor all legal compliance factors for both
local and global markets.
For example: Your organization may provide health services and be subject to regulations governing
the handling of personal health information. You may also handle financial transactions and therefore
be subject to financial reporting regulations. This example showcases the need for active monitoring
of regulatory activities in multiple jurisdictions.
8. ANSWER [Secure business contact data and respect customer choices] . A successful privacy
program requires that management approve funding to resource and equip your privacy team, fund
important privacy enhancing resources and technologies by ensuring privacy requirements are part of

actively participating in these initiatives, and hold employees accountable for following privacy
policies including notifying direct reports of the results of enforcement actions
9. ANSWER: [All security controls can be applied across legislations as they have the same
categories and solutions].
Not true. They are similar but NOT the same across [Link] security controls are
part of the data governance strategy
o Most legislations do not enumerate the types of specific controls that must be implemented
Most security controls have similar categories and solutions – those deployed in one jurisdiction
may typically satisfy another jurisdiction
However, be aware of local requirements and/or local prohibitions
• China does not permit the use of encryption
• Most EU countries limit the use of DLP technology because they interpret it to be employee
monitoring
10. ANSWER [Implementing a solution that materially addresses the various requirements of the majority
of laws and regulations].
By “rationalising” the various privacy legal requirements, this means
1) implementing a solution that materially addresses the various requirements of the majority of laws
and regulations, e.g. notice, choice, consent, purpose limitation, data retention limitation, individual
rights to access, correction and deletion of data, obligation to safeguard data
2) addressing those requirements that fall outside the common solution to see whether there is risk in
leaving them out, or the effort to include them is trivial
3) Use customisation (if necessary) to meet local requirements in granting access to individuals to
access their personal data and the timeframes for providing the data to them
11. ANSWER [Centralised team issues policies & directors to rest of organisation; local entities fulfil
/support policies through their own privacy manager].
Definition of the Hybrid Model
o When a large organisation assigns a main individual (or organisation) responsibility for privacy-
related affairs and for issuing policies and directives to the rest of the organisation
o Local entities fulfil and support the policies and directives from the central governing body
o In large multinationals, each region may have a privacy manager who reports to local management
and/or the chief privacy officer at the global level
12. ANSWER [Develop a business case]. First, we must develop a business case. The business case is the
starting point for assessing the needs of the privacy organization. It defines the individual program
needs and the ways to meet specific business goals. This allows for the understanding of the role of
privacy in the context of business requirements and identification of business benefits and risks. This
should be completed at a high level and can be done when establishing a new privacy program or
when evaluating a privacy program that is currently in place. Following the development of the
business case, a gap analysis is performed. We will review the gap analysis in more detail in unit 2A.
The third step in developing the privacy program framework is reviewing and monitoring the
program. This step will be covered in Unit 2C,as will the final step, communicate the framework.
13. ANSWER [All of the answers]. The elements involved in a data inventory are:
o The nature of a repository of privacy-related information
o Owner of the repository
o Location of the repository
o Volume of information in the repository
o Format of the information
o Use of the information
o Types of privacy-related information in the repository
o Where the data is stored
o Where the data is accessed
o International transfers

control].
It is used in privacy and audit management
• Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (CobiT) provides a reference model for
aligning business needs under one “umbrella” of control.

Developing a business case is crucial as it defines the needs of the privacy organization, aligns privacy initiatives with business goals, and assesses both benefits and risks. It also helps in identifying requirements and justifying investments by providing a clear understanding of privacy's role within broader business strategies .

Involving stakeholders in monitoring and enforcement of privacy policies is critical for ensuring accountability and support. Their involvement can lead to better compliance, as they provide input and feedback on policy effectiveness, help in identifying gaps, and foster a culture of privacy awareness throughout the organization .

Organizations face challenges such as varying legal requirements, cultural differences, language barriers, and different business methods. They must navigate through the need for compliance with local laws while aligning with global privacy policies. Monitoring legal updates and adapting strategies to local contexts without compromising global mission is complex .

Organizations ensure global compliance by understanding and customizing privacy approaches to meet both global and local legal requirements, recognizing cultural and business method differences. They must monitor regulatory activities, implement strategies that meet the majority of legal requirements like notice and data protection, and customize solutions for specific local laws while considering the overarching organizational strategy .

The hybrid model centralizes responsibility for privacy policies at the organizational level, where a main individual or team issues directives to local offices. Each regional entity supports and implements these policies through local privacy managers who ensure alignment with both global directives and local compliance, thus balancing central oversight with localized implementation .

Security controls cannot be universally applied across different jurisdictions because, while they share similar categories and solutions, local laws have specific requirements or prohibitions. For example, China restricts the use of encryption, and the EU limits data loss prevention technology due to interpretations of employee monitoring laws, necessitating customized security approaches .

Organizations can ensure compliance by actively monitoring regulatory activities, tailoring privacy programs to accommodate both local and global requirements, and maintaining flexibility to adapt to changes. Regular audits, continuous staff training, and involvement in policymaking processes are crucial to keep the program responsive to new regulations .

The key components in creating a privacy program are defining the program's scope and charter, developing a privacy strategy, and structuring the privacy team. This involves creating a privacy mission statement, an implementation roadmap which includes documented procedures and processes, and securing proper resources and funding. Monitoring regulatory activities across multiple jurisdictions is essential for global companies to ensure compliance .

Stakeholders play a crucial role in creating a privacy mission statement as their involvement leads to greater acceptance and success. A shared mission and vision, being a collaborative product of many stakeholders, reduces resistance to policy changes and enhances compliance and support from management and employees across the organization .

CobiT provides a standardized audit framework and reference model that helps align business needs under a cohesive control structure. By using this framework, organizations can manage privacy and audit objectives effectively, ensuring that their control practices are harmonized across various operational requirements .
