PRI-03.5: Product or Service Delivery Restrictions
Mechanisms exist to prevent discrimination against a data subject for exercising their legal rights pertaining to modifying or revoking consent, including prohibiting: (1) Refusing products and/or services; (2) Charging different rates for goods and/or services; and (3) Providing different levels of quality.
Control Question: Does the organization prevent discrimination against a data subject for exercising their legal rights pertaining to modifying or revoking consent, including prohibiting: (1) Refusing products and/or services; (2) Charging different rates for goods and/or services; and (3) Providing different levels of quality?

Capability Maturity Model
Level 0 — Not Performed
There is no evidence of a capability to prevent discrimination against a data subject for exercising their legal rights pertaining to modifying or revoking consent, including prohibiting: (1) Refusing products and/or services; (2) Charging different rates for goods and/or services; and (3) Providing different levels of quality.
Level 1 — Performed Informally
C|P-CMM1 is N/A, since a structured process is required to prevent discrimination against a data subject for exercising their legal rights pertaining to modifying or revoking consent, including prohibiting: (1) Refusing products and/or services; (2) Charging different rates for goods and/or services; and (3) Providing different levels of quality.
Level 2 — Planned & Tracked
C|P-CMM2 is N/A, since a well-defined process is required to prevent discrimination against a data subject for exercising their legal rights pertaining to modifying or revoking consent, including prohibiting: (1) Refusing products and/or services; (2) Charging different rates for goods and/or services; and (3) Providing different levels of quality.
Level 3 — Well Defined
Privacy (PRI) efforts are standardized across the organization and centrally managed, where technically feasible, to ensure consistency. CMM Level 3 control maturity would reasonably expect all, or at least most, the following criteria to exist:
- A Chief Privacy Officer (CPO), or similar function with technical competence to address data privacy concerns, analyzes the organization's business strategy to develop and publish authoritative guidance on the organization's data privacy program.
- A Privacy program, run by a CPO, or similar role, ensures that applicable statutory, regulatory and contractual data privacy obligations are properly identified and implemented to limit and secure Personal Data (PD) that the organization stores, transmits and processes.
- As part of the organization's data privacy program, the CPO publishes a clear set of “data privacy principles”, based on leading data privacy practices, that systems, applications, services, processes and third-parties must adhere to.
- A Project Management Office (PMO), or project management function, ensures both cybersecurity and data privacy principles are identified and implemented within ongoing or planned projects.
- The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), or similar function with technical competence to address cybersecurity concerns, analyzes the organization's business strategy to determine prioritized and authoritative guidance for cybersecurity-related data privacy practices.
- The CISO, or similar function, develops a security-focused Concept of Operations (CONOPS) that documents management, operational and technical measures to apply defense-in-depth techniques across the enterprise for cybersecurity-related data privacy practices.
- A Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) function, or similar function, provides governance oversight for the implementation of applicable statutory, regulatory and contractual cybersecurity and data protection controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability and safety of the organization's applications, systems, services and data with regards to data privacy.
- A steering committee is formally established to provide executive oversight of the cybersecurity and data privacy program.
- Data/process owners operationalize data privacy controls into the processes they control.
- Third-party contracts included data protection requirements, including flow-down requirements to subcontractors.
- Data Protection Officers (DPOs) are assigned to work closely with business units and project teams to ensure data privacy principles are being implemented.
- CPO and DPO determine and document the legal authority that permits the collection, use, maintenance and sharing of PD, either generally or in support of a specific program or system need.
Level 4 — Quantitatively Controlled
See C|P-CMM3. There are no defined C|P-CMM4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to prevent discrimination against a data subject for exercising their legal rights pertaining to modifying or revoking consent, including prohibiting: (1) Refusing products and/or services; (2) Charging different rates for goods and/or services; and (3) Providing different levels of quality.
Level 5 — Continuously Improving
See C|P-CMM4. There are no defined C|P-CMM5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to prevent discrimination against a data subject for exercising their legal rights pertaining to modifying or revoking consent, including prohibiting: (1) Refusing products and/or services; (2) Charging different rates for goods and/or services; and (3) Providing different levels of quality.
Assessment Objectives
- PRI-03.5_A01 processes exist to prevent the refusal of products and/or services on the grounds that a data subject does not agree to the processing of Personal Data (PD) or withdraws consent.
