Q: 16
You would like your organization to be independently audited to demonstrate compliance with
international privacy standards and to identify gaps for remediation.
Which type of audit would help you achieve this objective?

C . Third-party audits are independent so they fit the requirement for unbiased compliance checks with international standards. Makes sense here.
Gotta love how they throw in fourth-party just to confuse us. C is the actual independent audit done by outsiders, so that's the pick.
C imo, that's what you'd see in official practice questions and the glossary in the study guide.
C tbh, others are confusing internal vs independent but anything besides third-party is a trap for this scenario.
C but not totally sure if D is also valid in some contexts.
Wouldn't a third-party audit be the only real independent option here? First- and second-party audits have some level of internal or business partner bias, so they wouldn't really show true compliance with international standards to outside stakeholders. Unless I'm missing something from the question?
