NEW QUESTION # 131
What is the consequence if a processor makes an independent decision regarding the purposes and means of processing it carries out on behalf of a controller?
- A. The controller will be liable to pay an administrative fine
- B. The controller will be required to demonstrate that the unauthorized processing negatively affected one or more of the parties involved
- C. The processor will be considered to be a controller in respect of the processing concerned
- D. The processor will be liable to pay compensation to affected data subjects
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the UK GDPR, a processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller1. A processor must act only on the documented instructions of the controller and must not process the data for its own purposes or in a way that is incompatible with the controller's purposes1. If a processor makes an independent decision regarding the purposes and means of processing it carries out on behalf of a controller, it will be considered to be a controller in respect of that processing and will be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as a controller under the UK GDPR1. This means that the processor will have to comply with the data protection principles, ensure the rights of data subjects, implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, report data breaches, conduct data protection impact assessments, appoint a data protection officer if required, and cooperate with the supervisory authority1. The processor will also be exposed to the risk of administrative fines, compensation claims, and reputational damage1. Reference: 1

NEW QUESTION # 132
- A. Their decision to operate without a data protection officer.
- B. This database will be stored in a test environment hosted on Company C's U.S. server. The two companies agree not to include any data processing provisions in their services agreement, as data is only being used for IT testing purposes.
Unfortunately, Company C's U.S. server is only protected by an outdated IT security system, and suffers a cyber security incident soon after Company C begins work on the project. As a result, data relating to Company A's employees is visible to anyone visiting Company C's website. Company A is unaware of this until Jenny receives a letter from the supervisory authority in connection with the investigation that ensues. As soon as Jenny is made aware of the breach, she notifies all affected employees.
Under the GDPR, which of Company B's actions would NOT be likely to trigger a potential enforcement action? - C. Their failure to provide sufficient security safeguards to Company A's data.
- D. Their omission of data protection provisions in their contract with Company C.
- E. She first considers whether Company A needs to carry out a data protection impact assessment in relation to the new time and attendance system, but isn't sure whether or not this is required.
Jenny does know, however, that under the GDPR there must be a formal written agreement requiring Company B to use the time and attendance data only for the purpose of providing the payroll service, and to apply appropriate technical and organizational security measures for safeguarding the data. Jenny suggests that Company B obtain advice from its data protection officer. The company doesn't have a DPO but agrees, in the interest of finalizing the contract, to sign up for the provisions in full. Company A enters into the contract.
Weeks later, while still under contract with Company A, Company B embarks upon a separate project meant to enhance the functionality of its payroll service, and engages Company C to help. Company C agrees to extract all personal data from Company B's live systems in order to create a new database for Company - F. Their engagement of Company C to improve their payroll service.

SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Due to rapidly expanding workforce, Company A has decided to outsource its payroll function to Company B. Company B is an established payroll service provider with a sizable client base and a solid reputation in the industry.
Company B's payroll solution for Company A relies on the collection of time and attendance data obtained via a biometric entry system installed in each of Company A's factories.

Name
Address
Date of Birth
Payroll number
National Insurance number
Sick pay entitlement
Maternity/paternity pay entitlement
Holiday entitlement

NEW QUESTION # 134
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Building Block Inc. is a multinational company, headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe (including Germany, Italy, France and Portugal). Last year the company was the victim of a phishing attack that resulted in a significant data breach. The executive board, in coordination with the general manager, their Privacy Office and the Information Security team, resolved to adopt additional security measures. These included training awareness programs, a cybersecurity audit, and use of a new software tool called SecurityScan, which scans employees' computers to see if they have software that is no longer being supported by a vendor and therefore not getting security updates. However, this software also provides other features, including the monitoring of employees' computers.
Since these measures would potentially impact employees, Building Block's Privacy Office decided to issue a general notice to all employees indicating that the company will implement a series of initiatives to enhance information security and prevent future data breaches.
After the implementation of these measures, server performance decreased. The general manager instructed the Security team on how to use SecurityScan to monitor employees' computers activity and their location.
During these activities, the Information Security team discovered that one employee from Italy was daily connecting to a video library of movies, and another one from Germany worked remotely without authorization. The Security team reported these incidents to the Privacy Office and the general manager. In their report, the team concluded that the employee from Italy was the reason why the server performance decreased.
Due to the seriousness of these infringements, the company decided to apply disciplinary measures to both employees, since the security and privacy policy of the company prohibited employees from installing software on the company's computers, and from working remotely without authorization.
What would be the MOST APPROPRIATE way for Building Block to handle the situation with the employee from Italy?
- A. Since the employee was not informed that the security measures would be used for other purposes such as monitoring, the company could face difficulties in applying any disciplinary measures to this employee.
- B. Since this was a serious infringement, but the employee was not appropriately informed about the consequences the new security measures, the company would be entitled to apply some disciplinary measures, but not dismissal.
- C. Since the employee was the cause of a serious risk for the server performance and their data, the company would be entitled to apply disciplinary measures to this employee, including fair dismissal.
- D. Since the GDPR does not apply to this situation, the company would be entitled to apply any disciplinary measure authorized under Italian labor law.
Answer: B

NEW QUESTION # 139
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
TripBliss Inc. is a travel service company which has lost substantial revenue over the last few years. Their new manager, Oliver, suspects that this is partly due to the company's outdated website. After doing some research, he meets with a sales representative from the up-and-coming IT company Techiva, hoping that they can design a new, cutting-edge website for TripBliss Inc.'s foundering business.
During negotiations, a Techiva representative describes a plan for gathering more customer information through detailed Questionaires, which could be used to tailor their preferences to specific travel destinations. TripBliss Inc. can choose any number of data categories - age, income, ethnicity - that would help them best accomplish their goals. Oliver loves this idea, but would also like to have some way of gauging how successful this approach is, especially since the Questionaires will require customers to provide explicit consent to having their data collected. The Techiva representative suggests that they also run a program to analyze the new website's traffic, in order to get a better understanding of how customers are using it. He explains his plan to place a number of cookies on customer devices. The cookies will allow the company to collect IP addresses and other information, such as the sites from which the customers came, how much time they spend on the TripBliss Inc. website, and which pages on the site they visit. All of this information will be compiled in log files, which Techiva will analyze by means of a special program. TripBliss Inc. would receive aggregate statistics to help them evaluate the website's effectiveness. Oliver enthusiastically engages Techiva for these services.
Techiva assigns the analytics portion of the project to longtime account manager Leon Santos. As is standard practice, Leon is given administrator rights to TripBliss Inc.'s website, and can authorize access to the log files gathered from it. Unfortunately for TripBliss Inc., however, Leon is taking on this new project at a time when his dissatisfaction with Techiva is at a high point. In order to take revenge for what he feels has been unfair treatment at the hands of the company, Leon asks his friend Fred, a hobby hacker, for help. Together they come up with the following plan: Fred will hack into Techiva's system and copy their log files onto a USB stick. Despite his initial intention to send the USB to the press and to the data protection authority in order to denounce Techiva, Leon experiences a crisis of conscience and ends up reconsidering his plan. He decides instead to securely wipe all the data from the USB stick and inform his manager that the company's system of access control must be reconsidered.
After Leon has informed his manager, what is Techiva's legal responsibility as a processor?
- A. They must report it to TripBliss Inc.
- B. They must conduct a full systems audit.
- C. They must report it to the supervisory authority.
- D. They must inform customers who have used the website.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to Article 33 of the GDPR, processors must notify controllers without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach1. Even though Leon and Fred did not disclose the data to anyone else, the unauthorized access and copying of the log files still constitutes a personal data breach2. Therefore, Techiva, as a processor, has a legal responsibility to report it to TripBliss Inc., as the controller. The other options are not legal obligations for processors, although they may be good practices or contractual terms. Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 140
Which area of privacy is a lead supervisory authority's (LSA) MAIN concern?
- A. Cross-border processing
- B. Data subject rights
- C. Special categories of data
- D. Data access disputes
Answer: A
Explanation:
A lead supervisory authority (LSA) is the main point of contact for organisations that process personal data across multiple EU member states. The LSA is responsible for coordinating cross-border investigations, issuing binding decisions, and enforcing GDPR compliance1. Cross-border processing is the main concern of the LSA, as it involves data processing activities that affect data subjects in more than one member state, or that take place in more than one member state2. The other options are not the main concern of the LSA, as they are either covered by the national supervisory authorities of each member state, or are not specific to cross-border processing.
