Question 84

Explanation

Correct Answer: C. Determine the risk posed by privacy regulations. Explanation: In establishing an organization's privacy program, internal audit plays a crucial role in assessing and managing the risks associated with privacy regulations. Internal auditors are responsible for evaluating the organization's compliance with applicable privacy laws, regulations, and standards. By determining the risk posed by privacy regulations, internal audit can identify potential vulnerabilities and gaps in the organization's privacy program. They assess the adequacy of controls and measures implemented to protect personal data and ensure compliance with privacy requirements. Conducting privacy impact assessments (option A) is typically performed by privacy professionals or specialized privacy teams to assess the impact of processing personal data on individuals' privacy rights. While internal audit may be involved in reviewing and validating these assessments, it is not their primary role in helping establish the privacy program. Developing privacy policies and procedures (option B) is the responsibility of the privacy team or privacy officers who specialize in privacy management. While internal audit may review and assess the effectiveness of these policies and procedures, they are not primarily responsible for their development. Providing privacy training to employees (option D) is important for creating privacy awareness and ensuring compliance with privacy policies. However, it is typically the responsibility of the human resources or privacy department, rather than internal audit, to deliver privacy training programs. Therefore, the appropriate role of internal audit in helping to establish an organization's privacy program is to determine the risk posed by privacy regulations (option C). This involves assessing the organization's compliance with privacy requirements, identifying risks, and providing recommendations for strengthening the privacy program.
