Wait, why isn't InfoSec in charge? Seems risky otherwise.

I feel like this is similar to a case study we did, and I think HR had a significant role in managing identity data.

I'm leaning towards Information Security because they focus on protecting data, but I could be wrong.

I remember a practice question where IT was responsible for data management, so maybe they should own it too?

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if it's asking about the technical implementation of the identity management system or the business ownership of the data. I'll need to re-read the question and think it through step-by-step.

Okay, let's see. The data in an identity management system would include things like employee names, contact info, and access permissions. That sounds like it would fall under HR's responsibilities, so I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know identity management is important, but I'm not sure which department would be best suited to own the data. I'll have to think this through carefully.
