Overview

Privacy governance establishes enterprise direction, accountability, policy, legal alignment, risk tolerance, and oversight for personal-information processing.

Core Concepts

  • Personal information is information relating to an identified or identifiable person. Exact definitions vary by law, jurisdiction, sector, and context.
  • Sensitive or special-category information generally requires stronger protections, but the specific legal categories and obligations depend on the applicable jurisdiction.
  • Privacy governance begins with understanding organizational objectives, data-processing purposes, stakeholders, legal/contractual obligations, risk appetite/tolerance, and technology context.

Exam Tips

  • ISACA questions usually want the control or governance action that best fits the stated purpose, risk, and obligation—not the most restrictive control imaginable.
  • Do not assume consent is always required or always sufficient.
