CIPT Exam - Question 85


SCENARIO -

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Light Blue Health (LBH) is a healthcare technology company developing a new web and mobile application that collects personal health information from electronic patient health records. The application will use machine learning to recommend potential medical treatments and medications based on information collected from anonymized electronic health records. Patient users may also share health data collected from other mobile apps with the LBH app.

The application requires consent from the patient before importing electronic health records into the application and sharing it with their authorized physicians or healthcare provider. The patient can then review and share the recommended treatments with their physicians securely through the app. The patient user may also share location data and upload photos in the app. The patient user may also share location data and upload photos in the app for a healthcare provider to review along with the health record. The patient may also delegate access to the app.

LBH's privacy team meets with the Application development and Security teams, as well as key business stakeholders on a periodic basis. LBH also implements

Privacy by Design (PbD) into the application development process.

The Privacy Team is conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to evaluate privacy risks during development of the application. The team must assess whether the application is collecting descriptive, demographic or any other user related data from the electronic health records that are not needed for the purposes of the application. The team is also reviewing whether the application may collect additional personal data for purposes for which the user did not provide consent.

The Privacy Team is conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the new Light Blue Health application currently in development. Which of the following best describes a risk that is likely to result in a privacy breach?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

Not encrypting the health record when it is transferred to the Light Blue Health servers is a significant privacy risk. Encryption is critical for protecting sensitive personal health information during transmission. Without encryption, the data could be intercepted and accessed by unauthorized parties, leading to a serious privacy breach. Ensuring encrypted communication channels is a fundamental security measure, especially in healthcare technology applications that handle sensitive patient information.

A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an analysis of how personal information is handled throughout the data life cycle within an organization. A PIA ensures that organizations apply legal, regulatory and policy requirements regarding privacy, assesses privacy risks, and methods of risk mitigation. A significant goal of performing a PIA is to compel an organization to think about the choices it makes for its processes and how those choices will impact privacy. Privacy technologists can utilize the findings of a PIA to determine whether privacy risk is appropriately addressed using the privacy policies and procedure
