I recall discussing promiscuous policies in class, but that seems more about unrestricted access rather than the risks involved here.

Could it be a prudent policy? I feel like that one is about being careful with sensitive information, but I'm not confident.

I think this might relate to a permissive policy since Sarah was accessing files freely without much restriction.
