Why each option is right or wrong
A. Keep the existing roadmap unchanged until the next full program maturity assessment is completed.
Priorities should be rebalanced as business models, technologies, and legal obligations evolve.
B. Reassess and adjust privacy program priorities to reflect the new business service and legal requirements.
The source states that priorities should be rebalanced as business models, technologies, and legal obligations evolve. Because the company introduced a new digital service and faces additional regulatory requirements, the roadmap should be updated now to align the privacy program with those changed conditions.
C. Focus only on the technology changes, because legal obligations are addressed separately from program priorities.
Rebalancing priorities applies to business models, technologies, and legal obligations, not technology alone.
D. Delay changes to privacy priorities unless the organization’s core business model has fundamentally changed.
Evolving technologies or legal obligations can also require priorities to be rebalanced.
