MSP-FOUNDATION practice question 6 of 25
Which document is MOST LIKELY to describe the required levels of privacy?
Full set: 117 questionsThe Information approach, referred to as the Information Management Strategy in the official MSP guidance, defines the programme's policies for managing information. This includes its creation, storage, security, and destruction. Crucially, this strategy addresses compliance with relevant legislation, such as data protection and privacy laws (e.g., GDPR). Therefore, it is the primary document that would detail the specific required levels of privacy for the programme's information assets.
B. Delivery approach: This document outlines how the programme's projects and other work will be managed and coordinated, not the specific policies for handling information.
C. Governance approach: This defines the overall control framework, roles, responsibilities, and decision-making structures, but not the detailed requirements for information privacy.
D. Design approach: This describes the future state operating model and the design of the new capability. The design must comply with privacy rules, but this document does not define them.

Section 11.5, Information management strategy: "The information management strategy defines the programme’s approach to managing information... It should cover aspects such as security, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and compliance with relevant legislation (e.g. data protection and privacy laws)." This directly supports that the Information approach/strategy is the correct document for describing privacy levels.
Section 11.2, Governance strategy: This section details the establishment of the control framework, confirming it does not focus on specific information policies like privacy.
Section 11.6, Design strategy: This section explains that the focus is on the future state and blueprint, which would be informed by, but not define, privacy requirements.
