  • A. Protected
  • B. Legal
  • C. Regulated
  • D. Contractual
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Regulated PII data carries legal and jurisdictional requirements, along with official penalties for its misuse or disclosure, which can be either civil or criminal in nature. Legal and protected are similar terms, but neither is the correct answer in this case. Contractual requirements can carry financial or contractual impacts for the improper use or disclosure of PII data, but not legal or criminal penalties that are officially enforced.

Selected Answer: C
Regulated PII refers to personally identifiable information that is governed by laws and regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GLBA. Improper use or disclosure of regulated PII can result in fines, legal action, or even criminal charges depending on the applicable laws. Why Not the Others? A. Protected → While "protected" data should be secured, it is a general term and not specifically tied to legal penalties. B. Legal → This term is vague and does not directly refer to PII that carries regulatory fines or criminal consequences. D. Contractual → Contractual data (e.g., NDAs) may have legal repercussions, but breaching a contract typically leads to civil, not criminal, penalties.
