Which of the following is the GREATEST risk associated with inappropriate classification of data?

Inaccurate record management data is a symptom of poor data governance, not the greatest risk directly stemming from inappropriate classification itself.

Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) relate to data availability and recovery, which are distinct from data classification's primary impact on confidentiality and access.

Data ownership and accountability are crucial for data governance, but inappropriate classification directly impacts who can access the data, which is a more immediate and significant risk.

Data classification dictates the level of protection a dataset receives; if data is misclassified (e.g., as less sensitive than it is), it may be protected with insufficient controls, allowing unauthorized users to access information they should not see, leading to confidentiality breaches.
