NIST doesn't enforce privacy standards, that's DOJ's job.

I thought NIST set standards but wasn't sure they had enforcement power like the DOJ. That makes me lean away from A.

I feel like I saw a question similar to this in practice exams, and I think the FTC does have broad authority, so D seems likely.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think CISA has some authority over cybersecurity, but I'm not confident about the specifics.

Hmm, I think this is asking where we can access the Compliance Manager tool. Let me think about the different Microsoft admin centers I know of.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to carefully read through the options and see if I can eliminate any of them.

I remember studying that zero-based budgeting can really help avoid complacency, which is a good thing for charities that need to be efficient with funds.
