Question 4
Domain 2: Privacy Governance and Operating ModelA privacy program lead wants to improve cross-functional alignment so stakeholders provide input early enough for decisions and can act together when privacy issues arise. Which engagement mechanism best supports that objective?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Engagement mechanisms should be designed to obtain timely input from stakeholders and enable coordinated action across functions. — Create engagement mechanisms to ensure timely input and coordinated action.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. A mechanism focused mainly on documenting past privacy decisions after implementation
Engagement mechanisms are intended to secure timely input and support coordinated action, not only retrospective documentation.
B. A mechanism that gathers stakeholder input promptly and enables coordinated follow-up across teams
The source states that engagement mechanisms should ensure timely input and coordinated action. This choice directly matches both required elements by obtaining stakeholder input promptly and supporting follow-up across teams.
C. A mechanism limited to collecting feedback from one function before work is completed
Engagement mechanisms are meant to support coordinated action, which requires cross-functional involvement rather than a single function alone.
D. A mechanism designed primarily to delay decisions until every stakeholder agrees completely
Engagement mechanisms should ensure timely input; delaying decisions until complete agreement works against timeliness.
