What privacy and security considerations must CPPA personnel follow?

• A. Protect PII, limit access, follow DoD data handling, and implement need-to-know controls.
• B. Share PII with family to speed service.
• C. Store PII on personal devices for convenience.
• D. PII privacy rules do not apply to CPPA.

Answer: (A)

Protecting individuals’ PII and controlling who can see it are fundamental duties for CPPA personnel. The best approach is to safeguard PII, limit access to those with a legitimate mission need, follow DoD data handling standards, and implement need-to-know controls. This means using approved devices and networks, applying proper authentication and encryption, securely storing and disposing of data, and promptly reporting any incidents. Sharing PII with family, storing it on personal devices, or believing privacy rules don’t apply are all incompatible with these protections and increase the risk of disclosure or misuse.
