Question

What does a 'low sensitivity' label on data mean?

Options

  • AData compromise could cause minor disruption
  • BData compromise result in no harm
  • CData compromise could result in significant loss of life
  • DData compromise could result in loss of temporary competitive advantage

Explanation

A 'low sensitivity' label on data means that compromising this data could cause a minor disruption (see ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 5, Module 1). This data is not highly confidential or critical to the organization's operations. For example, a company's internal phone directory might be classified as "low sensitivity" because its unauthorized disclosure could cause some inconvenience but would not significantly harm the organization. Data whose compromise could result in significant loss of life or temporary loss of competitive advantage would likely be classified as 'high sensitivity' or 'critical' because of the serious consequences associated with its compromise. Finally, data whose compromise results in no harm may not need to be classified at all, because it implies that the data is not sensitive or valuable to the organization.
