SY0-301 Question #833: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C: Data classification. Data classification assigns sensitivity labels to data, ensuring it is handled, stored, and protected according to its sensitivity level and preventing unauthorized or insecure storage.
Question
An organization is recovering data following a datacenter outage and determines that backup copies of files containing personal information were stored in an unsecure location, because the sensitivity was unknown. Which of the following activities should occur to prevent this in the future?
Options
- ABusiness continuity planning
- BQuantitative assessment
- CData classification
- DQualitative assessment
Explanation
Data classification assigns sensitivity labels to data, ensuring it is handled, stored, and protected according to its sensitivity level and preventing unauthorized or insecure storage.
Common mistakes.
- A. Business continuity planning focuses on maintaining or restoring operations after a disruption, not on labeling data sensitivity to ensure proper storage.
- B. Quantitative assessment assigns numerical values to risks (e.g., monetary loss), which does not directly address the problem of unknown data sensitivity driving improper storage decisions.
- D. Qualitative assessment evaluates risks using descriptive rankings (high, medium, low) rather than addressing the root cause of data being stored insecurely due to unclassified sensitivity.
