CIPM Exam - Question 210


Which of the following is NOT an important factor to consider when developing a data retention policy?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

Organizational culture is typically not a primary factor in developing a data retention policy. The primary considerations usually include the technology resources available to store data, the business requirements dictating how long data needs to be kept, and the method for securely destroying data when it is no longer needed. Therefore, organizational culture, while important in many aspects of a business, does not directly influence the technical and regulatory aspects of data retention policies.

A. Technology resource — Important! You need to know what systems hold the data and their capabilities. B. Business requirement — Very important! You have to keep data as long as necessary for business (and legal) needs. C. Organizational culture — NOT a main factor when developing the actual rules of a retention policy (although culture affects how the policy is adopted or followed). D. Data destruction method — Important! You must safely and properly delete data when retention periods expire.
