Question 161

A company has started developing a privacy program. The Data Protection Officer (DPO) has been working long hours to develop cohesive procedures and processes; however, he failed to fully document each aspect of the data retention process. Which level from the Privacy Maturity Model most closely describes the company?

    Correct Answer: D

    A privacy program at the 'Repeatable' maturity level typically has procedures and processes in place, but they are not fully documented and may not cover all relevant aspects. This aligns with the situation described where the Data Protection Officer has been working on developing cohesive procedures and processes but has not fully documented each aspect of the data retention process.

Discussion
SsouravOption: A

If the company’s DPO has started to develop procedures but they are not fully documented, this could indeed signify an "Ad Hoc" stage in the process. As the program matures, the practices would typically become more defined, repeatable, and eventually, managed and measured for continual improvement.
