Pass CIPT Exam Guide

A code audit typically involves reviewing the source code to identify security vulnerabilities, compliance with coding standards, and the presence of appropriate logic and controls. However, determining whether consent is durably recorded in the event of a server crash is outside the scope of what can be assessed in a code audit. This requires operational checks and validation of data resilience and durability mechanisms, such as database configurations and backup procedures. The IAPP Information Privacy Technologist documentation highlights that auditing focuses more on code correctness and security rather than operational durability.

A network threat model is a risk-based model used to evaluate potential threats to a network. It helps in assessing the probability of different types of attacks, the potential damage these attacks can cause, and the prioritization of these threats. By doing so, it aids in minimizing or eliminating the threats by focusing security efforts on the most significant risks. The threat model provides a structured approach to identify, categorize, and address threats based on their severity and impact. (Reference: IAPP CIPT Study Guide, Chapter on Threat Modeling)

A strong privacy by design culture within an organization is best fostered when senior management advocates for and supports privacy initiatives. The IAPP documentation underscores that leadership commitment is crucial for establishing and maintaining a robust privacy program. Senior management advocacy ensures that privacy considerations are prioritized across the organization, leading to more effective implementation of privacy by design principles and a stronger overall privacy culture.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is designed to protect the privacy of children under 13 by regulating the collection of personal information online.

COPPA Applicability: COPPA applies to websites, online services, and apps directed at children under 13 or those that knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Advertisement Context: In option C, the math tutoring service advertises through a bulletin board within a charter school, which is not an online activity. Since COPPA focuses on online collection of data, this situation falls outside its scope.

The other options (A, B, and D) involve direct interaction with children through online platforms or devices, hence falling under COPPA’s jurisdiction. References: IAPP Certification Textbooks, Section on COPPA and Children’s Privacy Regulations.
