Above and beyond general regulations for data privacy and protection, certain types of data are subjected to more rigorous regulations and oversight. Which of the following is not a regulatory framework for more sensitive or specialized data?
FIPS 140-2 (Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2) is not a regulatory framework for data privacy or specialized data protection. Instead, it is a cryptographic standard that specifies security requirements for cryptographic modules used by U.S. federal agencies and contractors.
Why Not the Others?
Each of the other options regulates sensitive or specialized data:
B. FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program): Regulates cloud security for U.S. government agencies and ensures stringent security controls.
C. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard): Regulates payment card data and ensures credit card transaction security.
D. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): Regulates protected health information (PHI) in the healthcare sector.
The correct answer is B. FedRAMP. FedRAMP, or the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is not a regulatory framework for specialized data. Rather, it is a program run by the U.S. government that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services used by federal agencies. The other three options, FIPS 140-2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, are all regulatory frameworks that provide specific guidelines and requirements for the handling of sensitive or specialized data.
Answer C.
"Which of the following is not a regulatory framework for more sensitive or specialized data?"
FIPS 140-2 is not a framework at all, its a guidelines so I guess it gets ruled out from the options itself as the question is asking to rule out the Framework specifically.
This is the 2nd time they've done it. Choose two should be the case here both PCI-DSS and FIPS are not regulatory framework. I think the Question maker was clearly high on something and I want to know "on what"?
I could not agree more. I recently passed the CISSP and now doing this one and I also happen to have been involved in test development at one point in my career. All of the questions on these exams read as though they gave a random person who does not work i technology a set of source and said "write questions", it is as if the authors are completely context ignorant.
