Discuss IAPP CIPM Exam Topic 4 Question 74

What is least likely to be achieved by implementing a Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) program?

AReducing storage costs.

BEnsuring data is kept for no longer than necessary.

CCrafting policies which ensure minimal data is collected.

DIncreasing awareness of the importance of confidentiality.

Suggested Answer: C

Crafting policies which ensure minimal data is collected is least likely to be achieved by implementing a Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) program, as it is more related to the data collection stage, not the data management stage. A DLM program focuses on how to handle the data after it has been collected, such as how to store, use, share, and dispose of it. The other options are more likely to be achieved by implementing a DLM program, as they help to optimize the data storage costs, comply with the data retention obligations, and protect the data confidentiality.Reference:CIPM Body of Knowledge, Domain III: Privacy Program Management Activities, Task 1: Manage data inventory.

Ensuring data isn’t kept too long is a big win for DLM!

Tijuana 11 months ago

Wait, can DLM really minimize data collection? Seems tricky.

Josephine 12 months ago

Agree, confidentiality awareness is important but not a main goal.

Mary 12 months ago

I think it’s more about data retention than cost.

Adolph 1 year ago

DLM definitely helps reduce storage costs.

Raina 1 year ago

I feel like ensuring data isn’t kept too long is a big part of DLM, but I’m a bit confused about the confidentiality aspect.

Shayne 1 year ago

I practiced a similar question where crafting policies was emphasized, so I think that’s definitely part of DLM.

Alyssa 1 year ago

I’m not sure, but I think increasing awareness of confidentiality might not be a direct goal of DLM.

Glory 1 year ago

I remember studying that DLM is mostly about managing data efficiently, so reducing storage costs seems likely.

Gene 1 year ago

I feel pretty confident on this one. Crafting policies to minimize data collection has to be the least likely outcome of a DLM program. The whole point is to manage the data you already have, not restrict how much data you collect in the first place.

Blondell 1 year ago

Based on my understanding, a DLM program is all about managing the data lifecycle, so increasing awareness of confidentiality seems like the least likely outcome. The focus is more on storage, retention, and disposal rather than security awareness.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. Reducing storage costs and ensuring data is kept only as long as needed seem like the main goals of a DLM program, so I'm not sure which one is the least likely to be achieved. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Angelica 1 year ago

This question seems straightforward. I think the least likely outcome of a DLM program would be crafting policies to minimize data collection, since the goal is usually to manage the data lifecycle, not restrict data gathering.

I bet the correct answer is B. That's the most 'boring' and least flashy goal, so it's probably the least likely to be achieved. *yawns*

But reducing storage costs (A) could also be a challenge, depending on the implementation of the DLM program.

D seems like the most random choice. I mean, who doesn't know that data confidentiality is important these days?

Ma 2 years ago

I agree with Vanda. Crafting policies to limit data collection doesn't really fit with the core purpose of a DLM program.

Avery 2 years ago

Hmm, I'm not sure. Reducing storage costs and ensuring data retention policies seem like the more obvious goals to me.

Vanda 2 years ago

I think C is the least likely outcome, as DLM programs are more focused on managing data throughout its lifecycle rather than minimizing data collection.

Rueben 2 years ago

↳ replying to Vanda

D) Increasing awareness of the importance of confidentiality.

↳ replying to Vanda

I agree, C seems less likely as DLM programs are more about managing data.

I agree with Una, because DLM focuses more on managing data lifecycle rather than confidentiality awareness.
