Quiz tematico 1: Classifying information and need-to-know

Cosa sapere prima del test

Under PIPEDA, personal information is any factual or subjective information, recorded or not, about an identifiable individual.
Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec have private-sector privacy laws considered substantially similar to PIPEDA; Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador have substantially similar health information laws.
Federally regulated organizations, such as banks, airlines and telecommunications companies, are always subject to PIPEDA, including for their employees' information.
Under PIPEDA, a breach that creates a real risk of significant harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, and affected people must be notified as soon as feasible.
Organizations subject to PIPEDA must keep a record of every breach of security safeguards for two years, even breaches that are not reported.
The Privacy Commissioner says there is no one-size-fits-all retention period; organizations should set minimum and maximum periods for each type of personal information.
Government of Canada guidance says never to put protected, classified or personal information into public generative AI tools.

Domande frequenti

Is this an official privacy certification?

No. When you pass the final assessment you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general skills course. It is not an accredited qualification, it is not a vendor, employer or government certification, and it does not replace the privacy training your employer requires.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

How is this different from the cybersecurity awareness course?

The cybersecurity course focuses on phishing, scams, passwords and multi-factor authentication. This course focuses on handling information itself: labels, need-to-know, sharing, keeping and destroying records, remote work and privacy breaches.

Which privacy law applies to my workplace?

It depends on the type of organization and where it works. Most private businesses are covered by PIPEDA, but Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec have their own private-sector laws, federal government institutions are under the Privacy Act, and provincial governments, municipalities, universities, schools and hospitals are generally under provincial or territorial laws. Ask your privacy officer.

What should I do if I send personal information to the wrong person?

Report it right away to your supervisor or privacy officer, as your policy says. They may ask the recipient to delete the information, return it securely or hold it for collection.

L’attestato è accreditato o riconosciuto ufficialmente?

No. È un attestato di completamento privato, solo per le tue conoscenze. Non è riconosciuto, accreditato né approvato da alcun governo, ente di rilascio delle licenze, autorità di regolamentazione o istituto di istruzione e non sostituisce alcuna licenza, certificazione o formazione richiesta dalla legge.
