Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

Classifying data is an important step in performing a risk assessment, because it helps to determine the appropriate level of data security controls. Data classification is a process of assigning labels or categories to data based on their sensitivity, value, or criticality. Data classification helps to identify the potential impact of data loss, disclosure, or modification, and the corresponding level of protection required. Data classification also helps to prioritize the data assets and allocate the resources for risk management.
