Preview — answers shown1. In the context of ISO/IEC 27701, which term replaces the GDPR concept of 'data subject'? (Select one!)
APII Principal
BPII Controller
CInterested Party
DPII Processor
Explanation
ISO/IEC 27701 uses the term 'PII principal' to refer to the individual whose personally identifiable information is processed, replacing the GDPR term 'data subject'. PII controller and PII processor refer to organizations, not individuals. Interested party is a broader term for stakeholders, not specifically the individual whose data is processed.
2. When explaining the evolution of the standard, a trainer notes that the 2019 edition was withdrawn. What is the current standard that supersedes it? (Select one!)
AISO/IEC 29100:2025
BISO/IEC 27001:2025
CISO/IEC 27701:2025
DISO/IEC 27701:2022
Explanation
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 has been withdrawn and superseded by ISO/IEC 27701:2025. The 2025 edition represents the current version of the Privacy Information Management System standard. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the current Information Security Management System standard, and ISO/IEC 29100 is a privacy framework standard, but neither supersedes the specific PIMS standard.
3. An organization acts as a PII processor for a large cloud provider. Which ISO/IEC standard provides specific guidelines for the protection of PII in public clouds acting as PII processors? (Select one!)
AISO/IEC 29151
BISO/IEC 27018
CISO/IEC 27002
DISO/IEC 29100
Explanation
ISO/IEC 27018 is based on ISO/IEC 27002 and provides specific guidance for the protection of PII in public clouds acting as PII processors. While its guidelines can be appropriate for PII controllers, its primary focus is on cloud service providers. ISO/IEC 29151 provides guidelines for PII processing generally, ISO/IEC 27002 provides general security controls, and ISO/IEC 29100 provides the privacy framework, but none are as specifically targeted at cloud PII processor guidance as ISO/IEC 27018.
4. Top management is reviewing the PIMS performance. They note that while privacy objectives were met, the system is no longer aligned with the organization's strategic direction due to a new market entry. Which criterion is failing? (Select one!)
AEffectiveness
BSuitability
CAdequacy
DEfficiency
Explanation
Suitability refers to the system's alignment with the organization's context and strategic direction. Even if objectives are met (effectiveness), a misalignment with strategic changes indicates a suitability failure. Efficiency concerns resource usage, and adequacy concerns whether resources are sufficient, neither of which addresses strategic alignment.
5. An organization is analyzing its role in the privacy ecosystem. It determines that it does not decide the purpose of data collection but follows strict guidelines from a partner. Which role does this organization hold? (Select one!)
APII Principal
BPII Processor
CJoint Controller
DPII Controller
Explanation
A PII processor processes PII on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of a PII controller. Since the organization does not determine the purpose or means of processing, it is not a controller or joint controller. The PII principal is the individual whose data is processed, not the organization handling it.
