Exam CCSP topic 1 question 256 discussion

Why "Share" is Correct When data is shared with external entities, business partners, or different departments, it may require reclassification due to new security, privacy, or regulatory requirements. Example: A document classified as "Internal" might need to be reclassified as "Confidential" if it contains sensitive details before being shared outside the company. Why Not "Use" During the Use phase, data is accessed, modified, or processed, but its classification typically remains the same. Example: When employees work on a file stored in a cloud-based system, the classification remains unchanged unless an explicit reclassification decision is made, which usually happens before sharing. Key Difference Use = Data is accessed and processed, but classification is generally static. Share = Data is moved between environments, requiring reclassification to align with policies.

Use (Where classification changes are most likely): As data is used, processed, or analyzed, its context may evolve. This can result in a reclassification: Sensitive data may become less critical (e.g., outdated financial records). Public data may gain sensitivity (e.g., when combined with other data sets to reveal private information). Policies and compliance frameworks may require reassessment of classification as data usage changes.

A. Use: Data is processed, accessed, and used by applications and users. During this phase, the context in which the data is used can lead to reclassification. For instance, data that was initially classified as "internal" might be reclassified as "sensitive" based on how it is being used or the insights derived from it.

As per my understanding, as per the SOP's of archiving, the data set is always reevaluated for reclassification and relabeling, as per the prevailing criticality. My answer would be 'B' archive.

According to CCSP materials, DLP (Data Loss Prevention) technologies are indeed used during the "Use" phase of the cloud data lifecycle

The Create includes "modify" action

answer is : use

A. Use

B. By the time data is archived, its properties such as relevancy and criticality, as well as confidentiality requirements will change over time. A piece of data that may be classified today may very well be unclassified a few years or decades later.

C. Create

Modify also equals to create, so while modifying data classification can change. Archive would be, when it is suitable to change the classification. question appears to be asking unintended change of classification.

At what stage is classification assigned? = Create stage of the data lifecycle During which phase of the cloud data lifecycle is it possible for the classification of data to change? I'll choose Archiving stage
