A framework ensuring effective measures are in place to protect data is called?

The correct answer relates to the concept of an information security program, which is designed to safeguard an organization’s data from unauthorized access, breaches, and other threats. An effective information security program encompasses policies, procedures, and resources that work together to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. It typically involves risk assessments, security controls, training for staff, and continuous monitoring to adapt to evolving threats.

In contrast, a PIA, or Privacy Impact Assessment, is primarily focused on determining the effects of a project or system on the privacy of individuals. It helps identify potential privacy risks and ensures that personal information is handled appropriately but does not encompass the broader scope of data protection measures like an information security program does.

PIPEDA, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, is federal legislation in Canada that governs how private sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information. While PIPEDA establishes requirements for data protection, it itself is not a framework or program but rather a legal compliance requirement.

TRA, or Threat and Risk Assessment, is a process used to identify and assess risks to data and information systems. While it's an important component of an effective information security framework, it does not on its own provide the comprehensive measures needed to protect data
