Haha, Option D definitely seems like a red herring. How can 'data awareness training' be the least relevant metric when the whole point is to educate employees and prevent breaches? I'm picking C as the best answer.

True, but I still think Option C is the least relevant metric for the privacy and governance team.

I think Option B could also be a distraction, privacy rights requests may not directly relate to preventing breaches.

I agree, Option D does seem important, but maybe not the least relevant.

That's a good point, maybe all the options are important in their own way.

I think Option C could be the least relevant because completing assessments doesn't necessarily prevent breaches.

But wouldn't knowing how many security patches have been applied help prevent future breaches?

I'm going with option A as the least relevant. Applying security patches is a basic security hygiene practice, and doesn't really reflect the organization's privacy and governance performance.

B) I agree, that seems like a routine task rather than a reflection of privacy and governance efforts.

I disagree with Carlene. The number of privacy rights requests could be a useful metric to assess the effectiveness of the organization's privacy and governance efforts. Option A seems the least relevant to me.

But what about the privacy rights requests? Shouldn't that be a priority too?

I think option B is the least relevant metric. The number of privacy rights requests is more of a reactive measure, while the organization should be focused on proactive measures to prevent future breaches.
