I thought the fines were capped at $50000 annually, not per incident.

Wait, is it really six months in prison? That seems harsh.

I believe the fine for wrongful disclosure of PHI is significant, maybe around $50,000, but I need to double-check that.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like there was a mention of prison time for serious violations.

I’m a bit confused about the fines; I thought there was a cap on annual fines, but I can't recall the exact amount.

I think load average is definitely one of the three, but I'm not sure if idle CPU or free memory is more important.

I think data masking would be the best approach here. It allows the salespeople to view the customer data without exposing the sensitive credit card information.

Establishing a governance structure sounds essential too. If I recall, governance often comes early in these frameworks. I'm leaning towards D, but I could be wrong.
