CIPM Exam - Question 216

When selecting a program sponsor or 'champion' for a privacy program, the most critical considerations are their authority to approve policy and provide funding, their effectiveness as an advocate with an understanding of privacy importance, and their accountability for privacy-related decisions. Being part of the organization's top management, while potentially beneficial, is the least important consideration because it does not inherently guarantee the ability to shape policy, secure funding, or effectively advocate for privacy issues.
