Question 1 of 30
A critical software system, designed for sensitive personal data processing, is suddenly impacted by the swift enactment of a stringent, unforeseen national data privacy regulation. This new legislation imposes novel requirements on data anonymization, consent management, and cross-border data transfer protocols, which were not anticipated during the system\'s initial design and development phases. The project team is now tasked with ensuring the system\'s continued compliance and operational integrity. Which of the following actions represents the most fundamental and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023 aligned initial step to address this evolving external constraint?
Conduct a comprehensive technical impact analysis to identify all system components, data flows, and processes affected by the new regulation and determine necessary modifications.
Immediately initiate a full system redesign to incorporate all anticipated compliance features, even before a detailed understanding of the regulation's specific technical implications is achieved.
Focus on updating all system documentation and training materials to reflect the new regulatory requirements, assuming the underlying system architecture can inherently accommodate the changes.
Prioritize seeking external legal counsel to interpret the regulation, without immediately initiating any internal technical assessment of the system's current state against the new mandates.
