CIPP-US Exam Topic 4 Question 36 Discussion:
Question #: 36
Topic #: 4
Which of the following describes the most likely risk for a company developing a privacy policy with standards that are much higher than its competitors?
A.
Being more closely scrutinized for any breaches of policy
A company that develops a privacy policy with standards that are much higher than its competitors may face the risk of being more closely scrutinized for any breaches of policy by regulators, customers, media, or other stakeholders. This is because the company sets a higher expectation for its privacy practices and may be held to a higher standard of accountability and transparency. If the company fails to comply with its own policy or experiences a data breach, it may face more severe consequences, such as reputational damage, loss of trust, legal liability, or regulatory sanctions.
