Exam CIPM topic 1 question 46 discussion

Here's why: 1) Rationalizing is About Analysis, Not Implementation: Rationalizing requirements is the process of analyzing and organizing the various obligations and rights imposed by different laws and regulations. It's a preparatory step, not the actual implementation of a solution. 2) Implementation Follows Rationalization: Implementing a solution comes after the requirements have been rationalized. The process of rationalizing determines what the solution should address. Here's why the other options are part of rationalizing requirements: A. Harmonizing: This is a core part of rationalization, as it involves finding common ground among different requirements. C. Applying the strictest standard: This is a common strategy in rationalization, as it ensures compliance with the most stringent requirements. D. Addressing requirements that fall outside the common obligations: This is also a part of rationalization, as it involves dealing with unique or exceptional requirements.

A C & D are important considerations while rationalizing requirements

It's D. When rationalizing privacy requirements to comply with various applicable laws and regulations, the main focus is typically on harmonizing shared obligations and privacy rights, implementing solutions that address shared needs, and applying the strictest standards to ensure compliance without violating other laws. Option D suggests handling "outliers" (requirements that are unique to specific jurisdictions or laws) on a case-by-case basis, which is not a rational approach for aligning privacy requirements. Ideally, privacy programs aim for consistency and scalability by harmonizing common obligations and addressing any outliers through strategic planning, rather than ad hoc or case-by-case solutions.

harmonising to me is like taking a middle ground by only considering commonalities of various laws which is not a correct approach.

A - it is not possible to harmonise different legislative frameworks. Instead, materially address all that apply, by applying the strictest standard, and treat outliers on a case-by-case basis

Correct Answer is A

C is another approach

The answer is A. all other answers are included in the CIPM book under rationalisation. C as mentioned by others is incorrect. From cipm book - Another approach organizations employ, when possible, is to look to the strictest standard when seeking a solution, provided it does not violate any data privacy laws, exceed budgetary restrictions, or contradict organization goals and objectives.

C is correct

C is correct

Rationalizing requirements primarily involves understanding and organizing the myriad obligations from different legislations and regulations, finding commonalities, and creating a unified approach that can meet the standards across the board. While implementing solutions is an outcome or a step post the rationalization process, it is not a direct part of the rationalization itself.
