CIMA Risk Management (P3) Practice Exam

What is the role of data protection measures during transfers?

They protect data during transfer and reduce associated risks They have no effect on risk They are optional and not recommended They prevent all data transfer

Correct Answer:

They protect data during transfer and reduce associated risks

Explanation:

Data in transit is exposed to interception, tampering and loss, so protection measures during transfers focus on keeping data confidential and intact while it moves, thereby reducing the risk of a breach or loss. Implementing these measures—such as encryption, secure transfer channels (like TLS), strong authentication, integrity checks, and event logging—helps ensure that even if a transfer occurs, the data remains protected and the overall risk is lowered. They do not eliminate all risk or stop transfers outright, but they materially reduce the chances and impact of issues arising during transit. These protections are not optional or unnecessary; without them, data in transit remains vulnerable and risk remains higher.
