Which statement below regarding the difference between anonymization and pseudonymization is correct?
According to GDPR Recital 26, anonymization permanently removes any possibility of re-identification, making it irreversible. Pseudonymization, as defined in Article 4(5), is reversible if the correct key or additional information is available. Pseudonymization still qualifies as personal data under GDPR, whereas anonymized data falls outside the scope of GDPR.
An organization suffered a personal data breach. The attackers gained access to their database through a user account that had unlimited access to dat
a. What should the DPO advise the organization to do in order to prevent the recurrence of similar scenarios?
GDPR Article 32(1)(b) emphasizes implementing access controls to ensure data security. Reviewing and restricting account permissions using the principle of least privilege (PoLP) helps prevent unauthorized access. Shared accounts (option C) increase security risks, and using cloud computing (option B) does not directly address access control vulnerabilities.
When pseudonymization is used in a dataset, the data is divided into restricted access data and non-identifiable dat
a. This restricted access data includes gender, occupation, and age, whereas the non-identifiable data includes only nationality. Is this correct?
Pseudonymization does not remove data identifiability but rather reduces the direct link to an individual (GDPR Article 4(5)). Non-identifiable data includes attributes like gender and occupation, whereas restricted access data includes directly identifying details such as names. Anonymization, not pseudonymization, ensures complete irreversibility.
Why should the controller implement appropriate technical and organizational measures?
GDPR Article 25 requires controllers to implement appropriate measures ensuring data protection. This includes transparency measures that allow data subjects to monitor the processing of their personal data, fulfilling their rights under Articles 12-22.
Which of the statements below related to compliance monitoring is correct?
GDPR Article 39(1)(b) states that the DPO is responsible for monitoring internal compliance with data protection laws, rather than assigning responsibilities or measuring all activities.
