Compliance officers might have input, but I believe the final say should be with asset owners. That aligns with what we covered in the training.

I’m torn between asset owners and application owners. Both seem involved in data management, but I lean towards asset owners based on what we studied.

I remember a practice question where it emphasized the role of asset owners in data governance. It makes sense they would define access.

The question mentions "data governance" so I'm guessing that's the key here. Asset owners must be the ones responsible for governing access to the data assets they own. I'll mark C as my answer.

Okay, this makes sense to me. Asset owners would be the logical choice since they have the best understanding of the data and who needs access to it. I feel pretty confident about this one.

I think asset owners are the right choice since they manage the data and its access, but I’m not completely sure if IT teams have a say in this too.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know Zero Trust is all about verifying users and devices, but I'm not clear on the specific roles involved in managing access. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the answer is C. Asset owners seem to be the ones responsible for defining access controls and privileges as part of data governance in a Zero Trust model.
