CorrectA
Explanation
Select the practice of dividing and labeling data by sensitivity.
- 1「dividing data by sensitivity (public, internal, confidential, and so on)」Divide data by sensitivity
- 2「labeling it, and changing the handling rules」Handling by division = data classification
BIncorrect
Data cataloging
Data cataloging is the practice of organizing metadata such as location and schema to make data easier to discover.
It is not division by sensitivity and rule differentiation, so it is incorrect.
CIncorrect
Data lineage (provenance)
Data lineage is a concept that tracks the origin and transformation history of data.
It is not division by sensitivity and labeling, so it is incorrect.
DIncorrect
Data masking
Data masking is a processing technique that protects confidential values by replacing them with redacted forms. For example, it displays a credit card number '4111 1111 1111 1234' as '** 1234,' a name 'John Smith' as 'J S,' or an email address 'taro@example.com' as 't*@example.com,' hiding part of the value so it can be used without exposing the original.
It is a means of protection, not the framework itself that divides data by sensitivity and defines rules, so it is incorrect.
Key Takeaway
Remember the correct answer, 'data classification.'
- The practice of dividing data by sensitivity (public, internal, confidential, and so on) and applying labels.
- Handling rules such as encryption and access control are changed according to the label, achieving appropriate protection and governance.
