The GDPR describes the principle of data minimization. How can organizations comply with this principle?

ABy applying the concept of least privilege to the personal data collected, stored or otherwise processed.

BBy limiting access rights to staff who need the personal data for the intended processing operations

CBy limiting the personal data to what is adequate, relevant and necessary for the processing purposes

DBy limiting file sizes, through saving all personal data that is processed in the smallest possible format

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

By applying the concept of least privilege to the personal data collected, stored or otherwise

processed. Incorrect. Data minimization does not address least privilege.

By limiting access rights to staff who need the personal data for the intended processing operations. Incorrect. This describes the concept of limiting authorization for instance to comply with the principle of integrity and confidentiality.

By limiting file sizes, through saving all personal data that is processed in the smallest possible format. Incorrect. Data minimization according to the GDPR is not about storage size, but about minimalizing the use of personal data.

By limiting the personal data to what is adequate, relevant and necessary for the processing purposes.

Correct. This is the essence of the description in the GDPR. (Literature: A, Chapter 2; GDPR Article 5(1)(c))

I’m a bit confused about option D. Limiting file sizes doesn’t seem to directly relate to data minimization. I think it’s more about the relevance of the data collected.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the key is to focus on what’s necessary for processing. So, I’d lean towards option C as well.

Wait, is this asking about limiting access rights or file sizes? I'm a little confused on the specifics of how to demonstrate compliance with data minimization. Let me re-read the question carefully.

Okay, I've got this. SSM uses (*,G) exclusively, which is different from ASM. And it also uses IGMPv3, which is another key difference. I'm confident those are the two unique characteristics the question is asking about.

I've worked with Azure Storage before, so I think I have a good handle on this. The key thing to remember is that data in the Archive tier needs to be rehydrated before it can be accessed. So the correct answer is option D, which states that the data must be rehydrated before it can be accessed.

Local Database seems a bit off for this case, right? I thought we needed something more scalable like RSA Token or AD.

I hear you. Though I have to say, if I had to pick the most 'minimal' option, D would be my choice - save everything in the smallest possible format, you know? *chuckles*

Exactly! Data minimization is all about the quality and relevance of the data, not just the quantity or file size. I'm pretty confident C is the right answer here.

Hmm, option D doesn't really make sense to me. File size limitations don't necessarily equate to data minimization. It's more about only collecting and keeping the bare minimum of personal information.
