Explanation
Conducting privacy audits on third-party vendors directly measures how well privacy compliance is being enforced across the supply chain. Audits assess whether vendors are meeting contractual and regulatory privacy obligations, making them the most actionable and comprehensive metric. Option A (PIAs) is internal-focused. Option B (reported violations) is reactive rather than proactive. Option C (data subject rights processing time) measures internal operations, not supply chain compliance.
