CIPT Exam Question 1
SCENARIO
Wesley Energy has finally made its move, acquiring the venerable oil and gas exploration firm Lancelot from its long-time owner David Wilson. As a member of the transition team, you have come to realize that Wilson's quirky nature affected even Lancelot's data practices, which are maddeningly inconsistent. "The old man hired and fired IT people like he was changing his necktie," one of Wilson's seasoned lieutenants tells you, as you identify the traces of initiatives left half complete.
For instance, while some proprietary data and personal information on clients and employees is encrypted, other sensitive information, including health information from surveillance testing of employees for toxic exposures, remains unencrypted, particularly when included within longer records with less-sensitive dat a. You also find that data is scattered across applications, servers and facilities in a manner that at first glance seems almost random.
Among your preliminary findings of the condition of data at Lancelot are the following:
Cloud technology is supplied by vendors around the world, including firms that you have not heard of. You are told by a former Lancelot employee that these vendors operate with divergent security requirements and protocols.
The company's proprietary recovery process for shale oil is stored on servers among a variety of less-sensitive information that can be accessed not only by scientists, but by personnel of all types at most company locations.
DES is the strongest encryption algorithm currently used for any file.
Several company facilities lack physical security controls, beyond visitor check-in, which familiar vendors often bypass.
Fixing all of this will take work, but first you need to grasp the scope of the mess and formulate a plan of action to address it.
Which is true regarding the type of encryption Lancelot uses?

CIPT Exam Question 2
SCENARIO - Please use the following to answer the next question:
Clean-Q is a company that offers house-hold and office cleaning services. The company receives requests from consumers via their website and telephor, to book cleaning services. Based on the type and size of service, Clean-Q then contracts individuals that are registered on its resource database - currently managed in-house by Clean-Q IT Support. Because of Clean-Q:s business.
model, resources are contracted as needed instead of permanently employed.
The table below indicates some of the personal information Clean-Q requires as part of its business operations:

Clean-Q has an internal employee base of about 30 people. A recent privacy compliance exercise has been conducted to align employee data management and human resource functions with applicable data protection regulation.
Therefore, the Clean-Q permanent employee base is not included as part of this scenario.
With an increase in construction work and housing developments, Clean-Q has had an influx of requests for cleaning services. The demand has overwhelmed Clean-Q:s traditional supply and demand system that has caused some overlapping bookings.
In a business statrategy session held by senior management recently, Clearning invited vendors to present potential solutions to their current operational issues. These vendors includes included Application development and Cloud solution providers, presenting their proposed solution and platforms.
The Managing Direct opted to initiate the process to integrate Clean-Q's operations with a cloud solution (LeadOps) that will provide the following solution one single online platform. A web interface that Clean-Q accesses for the purposes of resource and customer management. This would entail uploading resource and customer information.
A customer facing web interface that enables customers to register, manage and submit cleaning service requests online.
A resource facing web interface that enables resources to apply and manage their assigned jobs.
An online payment facility for customer to pay for services.
Considering that LeadOps will host/process personal information on behalf of Clean-Q remotely, what is an appropriate next step for Clean-Q senior management to assess LeadOps' appropriateness?
