Who should determine the appropriate classification of accounting ledger data located on a
database server and maintained by a database administrator in the IT department?

A.
Database administrator (DBA )

B.
Finance department management

C.
Information security manager

D.
IT department management

Explanation:

Data owners are responsible for determining data classification; in this case, management of the
finance department would be the owners of accounting ledger data. The database administrator
(DBA) and IT management are the custodians of the data who would apply the appropriate
security levels for the classification, while the security manager would act as an advisor and
enforcer.
