CCSP Exam - Question 495


Which of the following is the best example of a key component of regulated PII?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

Mandatory breach reporting is a key component of regulated Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Regulations often dictate specific actions, such as reporting data breaches, to ensure the protection and privacy of individuals' personal data. While audit rights of subcontractors, items that should be implemented, and PCI DSS are important elements in data management and security, mandatory breach reporting is directly tied to regulatory compliance.

Regulated PII (Personally Identifiable Information) refers to sensitive personal data that is protected by law and subject to specific compliance requirements. One of the key components of regulated PII is mandatory breach reporting, which requires organizations to notify affected individuals and regulatory authorities if a data breach occurs. This is enforced under regulations like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other data protection laws. Why Not the Others? A. Audit rights of subcontractors → Related to third-party security compliance but not a key component of regulated PII. B. Items that should be implemented → Too vague and does not specify regulatory enforcement for PII. C. PCI DSS → A security standard for payment card data, not a broad regulation for PII (though it applies to financial data).
