DSCI DCPLA - DSCI Certified Privacy Lead Assessor

According to the DSCI Privacy Framework, the practice area of “Regulatory Compliance Intelligence (RCI)” is dedicated to helping organizations:

Continuously track evolving laws and regulations (A)

Map these requirements and associated liabilities to data elements and processing activities (B)

Develop internal knowledge management systems for compliance obligations (D)

Option C, however, relates more to access control and information security, which is typically addressed under technical and security safeguard controls, not under the RCI practice area.

==============

DSCI Privacy Framework recommends a holistic approach to incident management which includes:

Identification and timely notification of incidents (I)

Thorough investigation and effective remediation measures (II)

Conducting root cause analysis to prevent recurrence (III)

Educating users on how to recognize and report incidents (IV)

Each of these components plays a critical role in reducing risk exposure and ensuring continual improvement of the privacy program.

The DSCI Privacy Framework emphasizes that a privacy training and awareness program should:

Be role-based and targeted towards those who directly handle or have access to personal information

Include not just internal employees but also extend to third-party vendors and service providers who process personal information on behalf of the organization (B)

Officials from Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) are not part of an organization’s training scope; instead, interactions with LEAs are governed by legal access procedures, not internal training.

Therefore, option B is correct.

The DPF’s “Regulatory Compliance Intelligence (RCI)” practice area is focused on identifying and mapping applicable legal and compliance requirements to the specific data elements across business processes. This enables organizations to operationalize compliance obligations by linking them directly with the data they manage.

RCI helps ensure that every data flow or processing activity has a mapped legal basis and complies with jurisdictional requirements.

==============

The modern definition of consent, as defined under the DSCI Privacy Framework and GDPR, includes the following criteria:

It must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous

It must be indicated by a clear affirmative action

Individuals must be able to withdraw consent at any time

It must not be bundled or forced (e.g., acceptance of multiple processing purposes without choice)

Bundled consent—where the individual must consent to multiple unrelated data processing purposes together—is not aligned with the requirement of specific and informed consent. Hence, Option C is incorrect.
