From Professor Messer study notes: Data subject • Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person – An individual with personal data • This includes everyone – Name, ID number, address information, genetic makeup, physical characteristics, location data, etc. – You are the data subject • Laws and regulations – Privacy is ideally defined from the perspective of the data subject Data owner – Accountable for specific data, often a senior officer – VP of Sales owns the customer relationship data – Treasurer owns the financial information I'm also going with C.

C. Subject In the context of data roles, the customer whose sensitive data is being collected, modified, and stored is referred to as the "Subject." The data subject is the individual to whom the data pertains. Therefore, the correct answer is: C. Subject

Easy to remember the role: Owner (D): The hospital (owns and controls the data). Processor (A): The cloud service provider (processes the data on behalf of the hospital). Custodian (B): The IT team (manages the technical aspects of the data). Subject (C): The patient (the individual whose data is being collected). The question says: Which of the following data roles describes the customer? So, the customer is always a SUBJECT.

Selected Answer: C
The Marketing Department Head or other senior-level manager is likely something like the Data Protection Officer or Owner, responsible for the data. The Infrastructure Team are likely the Custodians. The data is likely being collected and processed by lower-level employees and/or automated processes. These would be the Data Processors. That leaves the customer whose data is being collected. They aren't the owners of their own data (like others have stated), but they are the data subject. So C is the most accurate answer.

In this scenario, the customers are the data subjects because the sensitive information collected, modified, and stored by the marketing department pertains to them. The customers are the individuals whose data is being processed.

Answer is c. Technically the customer does own their own data, however in the Cybersecurity context the Owner is someone within the organization. According to ISO/IEC 27001, the data owner is responsible for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets.

Owner is the person collecting the data. Subject is who the data belongs to or who actually provided it. A subject will always be the customer.

C. Subject In this scenario, the customer is the subject of the sensitive data being collected, modified, and stored by the marketing department. The customer's data is being processed and managed by the marketing department, but the customer themselves is the subject of that data. They are the individuals to whom the data pertains.

Why wouldn't the customer be the data owner? I don't remember Data Subject being apart of the 701 Course
