CIPS L6M7 Exam - Topic 2 Question 29 Discussion

Posted by Kanisha on Jul 21, 2026 at 10:52 AM

Fluffy Pillows Ltd has recently expanded its operations and has hired more staff. These staff will work remotely and because of this Fluffy Pillows Ltd is in need of buying and upgrading their IT systems. The CEO of Fluffy Pillows is examining the security of currently held data in preparation for the expansion and has recently completed a document which looks into what data is stored where and what the consequences would be if this data were to be stolen or corrupted. In his research he has found multiple data entries for the same information, which he believes could lead to inaccuracies in data reporting. He is also concerned that the data isn't being stored securely and is unsure whether he should retain some of the confidential personal details on employees who have left the business. He has decided that along with the introduction of new systems it is important that all members of staff at Fluffy Pillows are aware of the responsibilities of storing data correctly and the risks of cyber attacks.

What is the main concern with regards to the quality of data currently held?

Suggested Answer: A

This is commission---data has been created (commissioned) by mistake, leading to multiple entries for the same thing.

True, but manipulation worries me more. Someone could change data for personal gain.

From what I studied, I think corruption is definitely the right answer. The focus on data security makes me think that's the biggest risk here.

I feel like manipulation could be a concern too, especially if the data isn't stored securely. But I lean more towards corruption given the context.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question that mentioned omission as a potential issue when there are multiple entries for the same information.

I think the main concern might be corruption since the CEO is worried about the consequences of data being stolen or corrupted.
