Which of the following processes is used to protect the data based on its secrecy, sensitivity, or confidentiality? Response:

Change Control is a process for managing modifications to system components, processes, or configurations, not for categorizing data sensitivity.

Data Hiding is a concept related to information security where data is made inaccessible or invisible to unauthorized parties, but it is not the process of defining data sensitivity categories.

Configuration Management is the process of establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life.

Data classification involves systematically organizing data into categories (e.g., public, internal, confidential, top secret) based on its sensitivity, value, and the potential impact of its unauthorized disclosure. This process helps determine the level of protection required, such as encryption, access controls, and retention policies, aligning security measures with data's confidentiality needs.
