CSA CCZT Exam - Topic 4 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for CSA's CCZT exam

Question #: 15
Topic #: 4

What should an organization's data and asset classification be based on?

ALocation of data

BHistory of data

CSensitivity of data

DRecovery of data
Data and asset classification should be based on the sensitivity of data, which is the degree to which the data requires protection from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Data sensitivity is determined by the potential impact of data loss, theft, or corruption on the organization, its customers, and its partners. Data sensitivity can also be influenced by legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Proper risk management should be a key component of any ZT project, especially during implementation and adjustments, because it helps to identify, analyze, evaluate, and treat the potential risks that may affect the ZT and ZTA objectives and outcomes. Proper risk management also helps to prioritize the ZT and ZTA activities and resources based on the risk level and impact, and to monitor and review the risk mitigation strategies and actions.

Location of data is important, but sensitivity should come first!

I agree with the focus on sensitivity, but I wonder if recovery aspects should play a role too, especially for critical assets.

I’m a bit confused about the role of data history in classification. I thought it was more about how sensitive the data is rather than where it’s been.

I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of sensitivity in data classification. It makes sense since sensitive data needs more protection.

I think the classification should definitely focus on the sensitivity of data, but I'm not entirely sure how to weigh that against other factors like location.

Okay, this is a good one. I remember discussing data classification in class, and the key is understanding the potential impact if the data is compromised. The sensitivity level should drive the security measures put in place.

The answer is clearly C - sensitivity of data. That's the foundation of any good data classification program. The other options don't really address the core purpose of classification, which is to protect sensitive information.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know data classification is important, but I'm not sure if location, history, or recovery should also be considered. I'll need to review my notes on this topic.

This seems like a straightforward question about data classification. I think the key is to focus on the sensitivity of the data, which will determine the appropriate security controls.

Okay, an assessment in Compliance Manager is a grouping of controls from a specific regulation, standard or policy. That makes sense, I'll go with option A.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I think the key is to add another cost level to the landed cost table that's based on the brokerage fee line and has a 10% percentage of cost. That should do the trick.

Wait, is 'location of data' even an option? That's like classifying files based on whether they're stored in the cloud or on-premises. Sensitivity is where it's at, folks.

History of data? Really? That doesn't seem relevant at all for determining how to classify and protect it. C is the obvious choice here.
