SCENARIO
Wesley Energy has finally made its move, acquiring the venerable oil and gas exploration firm Lancelot from its long-time owner David Wilson. As a member of the transition team, you have come to realize that Wilson's quirky nature affected even Lancelot's data practices, which are maddeningly inconsistent. “The old man hired and fired IT people like he was changing his necktie,” one of Wilson’s seasoned lieutenants tells you, as you identify the traces of initiatives left half complete.
For instance, while some proprietary data and personal information on clients and employees is encrypted, other sensitive information, including health information from surveillance testing of employees for toxic exposures, remains unencrypted, particularly when included within longer records with less-sensitive data. You also find that data is scattered across applications, servers and facilities in a manner that at first glance seems almost random.
Among your preliminary findings of the condition of data at Lancelot are the following:
Cloud technology is supplied by vendors around the world, including firms that you have not heard of.
You are told by a former Lancelot employee that these vendors operate with divergent security requirements and protocols.
The company’s proprietary recovery process for shale oil is stored on servers among a variety of less-sensitive information that can be accessed not only by scientists, but by personnel of all types at most company locations.
DES is the strongest encryption algorithm currently used for any file.
Several company facilities lack physical security controls, beyond visitor check-in, which familiar vendors often bypass.
Fixing all of this will take work, but first you need to grasp the scope of the mess and formulate a plan of action to address it.
Which procedure should be employed to identify the types and locations of data held by Wesley Energy?

1. A. Privacy audit.
2. B. Log collection
3. C. Data inventory.
4. D. Data classification.

SCENARIO
WebTracker Limited is a cloud-based online marketing service located in London. Last year, WebTracker migrated its IT infrastructure to the cloud provider AmaZure, which provides SQL Databases and Artificial Intelligence services to WebTracker. The roles and responsibilities between the two companies have been formalized in a standard contract, which includes allocating the role of data controller to WebTracker.
The CEO of WebTracker, Mr. Bond, would like to assess the effectiveness of AmaZure's privacy controls, and he recently decided to hire you as an independent auditor. The scope of the engagement is limited only to the marketing services provided by WebTracker, you will not be evaluating any internal data processing activity, such as HR or Payroll.
This ad-hoc audit was triggered due to a future partnership between WebTracker and SmartHome — a partnership that will not require any data sharing. SmartHome is based in the USA, and most recently has dedicated substantial resources to developing smart refrigerators that can suggest the recommended daily calorie intake based on DNA information. This and other personal data is collected by WebTracker.
To get an idea of the scope of work involved, you have decided to start reviewing the company's documentation and interviewing key staff to understand potential privacy risks.
The results of this initial work include the following notes:
There are several typos in the current privacy notice of WebTracker, and you were not able to find the privacy notice for SmartHome.
You were unable to identify all the sub-processors working for SmartHome. No subcontractor is indicated in the cloud agreement with AmaZure, which is responsible for the support and maintenance of the cloud infrastructure.
There are data flows representing personal data being collected from the internal employees of WebTracker, including an interface from the HR system.
Part of the DNA data collected by WebTracker was from employees, as this was a prototype approved by the CEO of WebTracker.
All the WebTracker and SmartHome customers are based in USA and Canada.
Based on the initial assessment and review of the available data flows, which of the following would be the most important privacy risk you should investigate first?

1. A. Verify that WebTracker's HR and Payroll systems implement the current privacy notice (after the typos are fixed).
2. B. Review the list of subcontractors employed by AmaZure and ensure these are included in the formal agreement with WebTracker.
3. C. Evaluate and review the basis for processing employees’ personal data in the context of the prototype created by WebTracker and approved by the CEO.
4. D. Confirm whether the data transfer from London to the USA has been fully approved by AmaZure and the appropriate institutions in the USA and the European Union.
