IAPP CIPP-E Questions Answers

The steps listed in the question are part of a best practice framework for implementing a secure BYOD program, which allows employees to use their personal devices to access organizational data and applications. A BYOD program poses significant privacy and security risks, such as data leakage, unauthorized access, malware infection, and compliance violations. Therefore, an organization should follow a comprehensive approach to discover, monitor, manage, and secure the devices, apps, and data involved in a BYOD program. This approach can help the organization meet the GDPR requirements for data protection by design and by default, data security, accountability, and data breach notification. References:

According to the GDPR, a data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (Art 4(7) of GDPR). A data processor is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller (Art 4(8) of GDPR). In this case, JaphSoft would be considered a controller under the GDPR because it uses the personal data it receives from Liem and EcoMick to improve its own products and services through machine learning. This means that JaphSoft determines the purposes and means of this processing activity, which is not covered by the agreement with Liem and EcoMick. JaphSoft also decides how long to retain the personal data, which is another indication of its controller role. The other options are not sufficient to establish JaphSoft as a controller, as they could also apply to a processor. Having access to personal data in the MarketIQ database does not imply that JaphSoft determines the purposes and means of the processing. It could be acting on behalf of Liem and EcoMick, who are the controllers of the data in the database. Making decisions regarding the technical and organizational measures necessary to protect the personal data is also a duty of a processor, who must implement appropriate security measures in accordance with the GDPR and the instructions of the controller (Art 28 and Art 32 of GDPR). References:

What is a data controller or a data processor?

CNIL publishes guidance on data processing roles under EU GDPR

Guide for multi-controller situations under the GDPR

Article 30 of the GDPR requires controllers and processors to maintain records of their processing activities, which include information such as the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data, the recipients of the data, the retention periods, and the security measures12. However, Article 30 does not require controllers to keep records of incidents of personal data breaches, whether disclosed or not. This is a separate obligation under Article 33 and Article 34, which require controllers to notify the supervisory authority and the data subjects of any personal data breach, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons34. References: 1: Article 30 of the GDPR 2: What do we need to document under Article 30 of the UK GDPR? | ICO 3: Article 33 of the GDPR 4: Article 34 of the GDPR
