ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While finalizing the information inventory for an HR onboarding system, you identify that the database stores employee Social Security numbers. To meet typical handling requirements for PII, which practice should you explicitly include in the system security plan?
Limit collection to only the Social Security number information strictly required for onboarding.
Configure Network Time Protocol on every server so audit logs share a common time source.
Replicate the database to a warm standby site each night to improve availability.
Compress stored personnel records to reduce disk utilization and backup duration.
Privacy frameworks such as NIST SP 800-122 emphasize data minimization-collecting only the PII elements that are strictly necessary to accomplish the stated purpose and no more. This requirement directly responds to the unique privacy risks of PII. Replicating data for availability, synchronizing system clocks, or compressing files are valuable operational activities, but they are not privacy-specific safeguards and do not fulfill a core PII handling obligation.
