Single Answer
0Amanda is classifying patient data that is not medical but includes phone numbers and addresses. The data owner believes exposure could cause damage but not exceptional damage. How should Amanda classify the data?
Answer Options
A
Public
B
Sensitive
C
Private
D
Confidential
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
We know that the data classification will not be the top-level classification of Confidential because the loss of the data would not cause severe damage and it is not medical data covered by HIPAA. This means we have to choose between private (PHI) and sensitive (confidential). Calling this private due to the patient's personally identifiable information fits the classification scheme, giving us the correct answer.
