Question 8
Domain 2: Privacy Governance and Operating ModelA board asks for a one-page privacy dashboard. What design is BEST?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A board-level dashboard should emphasize a few high-value metrics that show whether privacy risk is improving or worsening over time. Trend-based KPIs tied to risk, compliance, and remediation give decision-makers a concise view of exposure and progress, instead of overwhelming them with operational detail.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Include every available metric so nothing is missed
B. Use only red, yellow, green status icons without definitions
C. Focus on a small set of trend-based KPIs tied to risk, compliance, and remediation
Board reporting is expected to support governance oversight, not operational monitoring, so the dashboard should be limited to a few metrics that show whether privacy risk is moving in the right direction and whether remediation is closing gaps. In practice, that means trend lines for items such as open high-risk findings, overdue remediation actions, breach/incident counts, and compliance exceptions, rather than a dense inventory of controls or activities. A one-page format is best used to surface material risk, compliance status, and remediation progress in a concise, decision-ready view.
D. Report only the latest audit result
