Which role has the authority to define access and protection policies for data within an organization?
Data steward
Data custodian
Data processor
Data owner
The correct answer is the data owner, as this role encompasses the responsibility for defining how data should be accessed, who can access it, and what protections are to be implemented around it. Other roles, such as custodians and stewards, are tasked with managing the physical storage and administration of the data according to the policies set by the owner, but they do not have the authority to define those policies. Similarly, processors manage the data processing tasks but follow predefined guidelines without authority to set those guidelines, while users primarily interact with the data without control over its management.
