SCENARIO -
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Paul Daniels, with years of experience as a CEO, is worried about his son Carlton's successful venture, Gadgo. A technological innovator in the communication industry that quickly became profitable, Gadgo has moved beyond its startup phase. While it has retained its vibrant energy, Paul fears that under Carlton's direction, the company may not be taking its risks or obligations as seriously as it needs to. Paul has hired you, a Privacy Consultant, to assess the company and report to both father and son. "Carlton won't listen to me," Paul says, "but he may pay attention to an expert."
Gadgo's workplace is a clubhouse for innovation, with games, toys, snacks. espresso machines, giant fish tanks and even an iguana who regards you with little interest. Carlton, too, seems bored as he describes to you the company's procedures and technologies for data protection. It's a loose assemblage of controls, lacking consistency and with plenty of weaknesses. "This is a technology company," Carlton says. "We create. We innovate. I don't want unnecessary measures that will only slow people down and clutter their thoughts."
The meeting lasts until early evening. Upon leaving, you walk through the office it looks as if a strong windstorm has recently blown through, with papers scattered across desks and tables and even the floor. A "cleaning crew" of one teenager is emptying the trash bins. A few computers have been left on for the night, others are missing. Carlton takes note of your attention to this: "Most of my people take their laptops home with them, or use their own tablets or phones. I want them to use whatever helps them to think and be ready day or night for that great insight. It may only come once!"
What phase in the Privacy Maturity Model (PMM) does Gadgo's privacy program best exhibit?

  • A. Ad hoc.
  • B. Defined.
  • C. Repeatable.
  • D. Managed.

A is correct. The AICPA/CICA Privacy Maturity Model is based on GAPP and the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). The PMM uses five maturity levels as follows: Ad hoc: Procedures or processes are generally informal, incomplete, and inconsistently applied Repeatable: Procedures or processes exist; however, they are not fully documented and do not cover all relevant aspects Defined: Procedures and processes are fully documented and implemented and cover all relevant aspects Managed: Reviews are conducted to assess the effectiveness of the controls in place Optimized: Regular review and feedback are used to ensure continuous improvement towards optimization of the given process
