SCENARIO -
Kyle is a new security compliance manager who will be responsible for coordinating and executing controls to ensure compliance with the company's information security policy and industry standards. Kyle is also new to the company, where collaboration is a core value. On his first day of new-hire orientation, Kyle's schedule included participating in meetings and observing work in the IT and compliance departments.
Kyle spent the morning in the IT department, where the CIO welcomed him and explained that her department was responsible for IT governance. The CIO and
Kyle engaged in a conversation about the importance of identifying meaningful IT governance metrics. Following their conversation, the CIO introduced Kyle to
Ted and Barney. Ted is implementing a plan to encrypt data at the transportation level of the organization's wireless network. Kyle would need to get up to speed on the project and suggest ways to monitor effectiveness once the implementation was complete. Barney explained that his short-term goals are to establish rules governing where data can be placed and to minimize the use of offline data storage.
Kyle spent the afternoon with Jill, a compliance specialist, and learned that she was exploring an initiative for a compliance program to follow self-regulatory privacy principles. Thanks to a recent internship, Kyle had some experience in this area and knew where Jill could find some support. Jill also shared results of the company's privacy risk assessment, noting that the secondary use of personal information was considered a high risk.
By the end of the day, Kyle was very excited about his new job and his new company. In fact, he learned about an open position for someone with strong qualifications and experience with access privileges, project standards board approval processes, and application-level obligations, and couldn't wait to recommend his friend Ben who would be perfect for the job.

  • A. Deletion
  • B. Inventory.
  • C. Retention.

Selected Answer: C
The correct answer is C. Retention. Barney's focus on establishing rules governing where data can be placed and minimizing the use of offline data storage suggests that he is primarily concerned with improving data retention practices. By controlling where data is stored and reducing offline storage, he is likely aiming to ensure that data is kept in secure, manageable locations and that it is retained only for as long as necessary, in compliance with the organization's data retention policies.

Chat GPT says Retention: Data retention is the practice of preserving data for a specific period of time to meet technical, business, or regulatory requirements. Any time you save data to a file, you’re technically retaining it — but the term “data retention” usually refers to the deliberate, systematic ways in which you store, use, and delete data. Developing a good data retention strategy requires a solid understanding of the nature, format, sensitivity, and useful lifecycle of your data. A good place to start is to create an inventory and diagram for all your data inflows and outflows1. Based on this information, it seems that where data can be placed is part of retention rather than inventory.
