Single Answer
0Jason's organization wants to classify data that the organization regularly uses. The data is customer data, and could cause harm to the company if it was released. Which of the following data classifications best fits this type of data?
Answer Options
A
Confidential
B
Restricted
C
Critical
D
Public
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The data should not be released or exposed and could cause harm. This means that confidential best describes this data from the list of available terms. Restricted data is typically limited to a subset of staff, but that is not reflected in the question. The data is also not described as being critical to the operations of the organization; instead the emphasis is on confidentiality. Since this data must remain confidential, it is not public data.
