NO.36 Joe is a Supply Chain Manager at Crunchy Lettuce Incorporated and is responsible for multiple sets of data on aspects of the business, including suppliers, customers, and manufacturing processes. Joe is aware that the integrity of his data is extremely important as, without accurate data, he is unable to plan effectively for future orders and deliveries.
Which of the following are ways in which data integrity can be affected? Select THREE.

Commission

Omission

Manipulation

Corruption

Corrosion

Commission: Data is mistakenly created, such as duplicate records.
Omission: Data is accidentally deleted or not recorded.
Manipulation: Data is changed incorrectly, such as an extra zero added to a value.
Corruption is not included because it refers to data being unreadable or damaged rather than integrity being affected by an internal process. Corrosion refers to metal deterioration and is unrelated to data.

NO.37 In Data Analytics, what is the term ‘black swan’ used to describe?

An unexpected pattern is discovered in the data

A missing piece of data prevents pattern identification

A data size too small to extract a meaningful pattern

A false pattern of data that appears

A black swan refers to false pattern recognition-when a pattern appears in data but does not actually exist.

NO.38 Jammy Nuts Ltd is a retailer of electronic components that are commonly used in kitchen appliances. It has a physical store, but 90% of its sales come through its website. For this reason, the CEO of Jammy Nuts is keen to use data to benefit the business. In what way can Jammy Nuts use the data collected to enhance business operations? Select ALL that apply

To sell on to other companies

To predict demand

To influence purchasing behaviour of customers

To increase profitability

To reduce the costs of overheads

Data can be used to predict demand and influence customer purchasing behavior (e.g., recommending related products). Selling data is illegal, and data itself does not directly reduce overhead costs or increase profitability-its application does. (P.97)

NO.39 BI (Business Intelligence) can be used in the Procurement and Supply function to display which of the following data? Select ALL that apply

What % of invoices have been paid on time

How much money has been spent with Supplier X since 2015

How many staff have achieved MCIPS

Why supplier Y was awarded the new contract for packaging

How much money has been saved by introducing e-procurement tools since 2017

BI tools display quantitative data (numbers and figures). Option D is incorrect because it is qualitative and subjective. (P.39)

NO.40 Which of the following approaches to cyber security takes a bottom-up approach to assessing vulnerabilities meticulously item by item?

system approach

technology approach

elementary approach

component approach

This is the component approach – it looks at each individual component (each part of the IT system) in turn to check its okay. When a component is not directly controlled by the organisation (e.g. something to do with a supplier) this is called a dependency. Component approach is a bottom-up approach and is the opposite of the top-down approach which is called the ‘system driven approach’. P.179 Domain: 3.2

NO.41 Which of the following is an example of a data-enhanced product?

A third-party cloud storage system

A fridge that can recommend recipes based on the contents inside it

An airline that changes the price of flights depending on demand

An air-conditioning unit in a hot warehouse

A data-enhanced product is a physical product that incorporates data-driven functionality to provide additional features. A smart fridge that suggests recipes based on its contents is an example, as it uses data to enhance user experience.

NO.42 BuyBoy.com is an online retailer that uses predictive analytics and a recommender system to suggest items for users to purchase.
Which types of data would the system use to produce recommendations?

Historical and predictive

Characteristics and credit ratings

Characteristics and user interactions

Historical and health

Recommender systems use customer characteristics (e.g., age, gender, preferences) and user interactions (e.g., previous searches, purchases, and browsing history) to suggest products. Credit ratings and health data are not typically used for product recommendations in e-commerce.

NO.43 Below are details of five companies that use smart sensors in their operations. Each sensor has a different purpose and a different way of transmitting data.
Instructions:
Drag and drop the correct Type of Sensor and Way of Transmitting Data into the appropriate boxes for each company.

NO.44 Which of the following is an International Standard in Security Management Systems?

ISO 14001

ISO 9001

ISO 28000

ISO 20400

ISO 28000 is an international standard that focuses on supply chain security management, based on the Deming Cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act). Familiarity with ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 is also recommended. (P.130)

NO.45 Green Pants Ltd has a lot of sensitive data around their unique designs for pants. Daniela, one of the designers, has noticed there is a weakness in their IT system, which means that data may be accessible to people outside the company. She would like the company to invest in software that can hide or disguise the data so that if it is ever stolen, the designs of the pants are not readable to others. What software is Daniela requesting?

Firewall

Proxy

Authentication

Encryption

NO.46 In order to keep data secure, which three things should be considered?

Access, accuracy, confidentiality

Location, availability, access

Integrity, location, format

Confidentiality, availability, integrity

This is the CIA triangle which is from p.143. The three aspects are the three corners of the triangle. Remember this one for the exam as I’ve heard it comes up frequently. Just remember data security = CIA = confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Domain: 3.1

NO.47 IT hacking can take many forms, and it is important for Procurement professionals to be aware of different ways their data can be compromised or stolen through cyber attacks. Which of the following is not a type of cyber attack?

Birthday

Phishing

Man-in-the-middle

Gooseberry

Gooseberry is not a type of cyber attack. The others-birthday attacks, phishing, and man-in-the-middle-are real cybersecurity threats. Other common attacks include malware, denial of service (DoS), drive-by attacks, password attacks, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and eavesdropping. (P.146)

NO.48 Henry is the Head of IT at Purple Rain Ltd and is presenting a case to the Senior Leadership Team to ask for more investment in the company’s IT strategy. Henry believes the company has an issue with data resilience and is asking for more money to be invested in this. He has completed a Business Impact Assessment (BIA) to better understand what data the company holds. Jon is the Head of Procurement and has listened intently to Henry’s presentation. He has decided to go back to his department and complete a thorough risk assessment, as he is aware his team holds a lot of data on suppliers and contracts. The CEO of Purple Rain, Roger Nelson, has asked Henry about next steps in order to protect the company from further risks associated with the IT strategy. Data is currently stored on servers located at Purple Rain’s Headquarters. The server room is locked at all times of the day and is only accessible to staff members who have a key. The building itself is extremely secure with CCTV systems located both inside the server room and outside it. However, the server room is prone to overheating.
What would Henry’s BIA show?

How important the data is to business operations

What system the data is held on

Why the IT department is underfunded

The risks of cyberbullying facing the company

A Business Impact Assessment (BIA) identifies the systems in which data is stored, its origin, whether it is transferred elsewhere, and the company’s ability to recover data. It does not assess funding issues or non-IT risks like cyberbullying. (P.104)

NO.49 It is important for data to be quality controlled. One important aspect of this is for data to be contemporaneous.
What does this mean?

It is up-to-date

It refers to current events

The data was recorded at the time it happened

The data is preserved in its original form

Contemporaneous data means that the information was recorded at the exact time the event occurred. This is critical to avoid errors caused by later memory lapses. For example, a nurse administering medication should record the details immediately to avoid any potential mistakes.

NO.50 At Consultancy X, employees create a range of documents daily, from presentation slides to spreadsheets. Consultancy X was concerned that important data could easily be lost, so it implemented a system where data entered during the day is saved overnight on a backup server. This way, if any individual computer or device should fail, the employee can still access their dat a. What is the risk approach taken by Consultancy X?

Eliminate

Reduce

Transfer

The company reduced the risk of data loss by using a backup system, though it did not eliminate the risk entirely. Transferring risk would involve making another party responsible, and accepting risk would mean doing nothing. (P.109)
