Which role is primarily responsible for ensuring that data is handled appropriately throughout its lifecycle?
Data custodian
Data owner
Data subject
Data processor
The correct answer is the data owner. This role is accountable for determining how data should be classified, how it is handled, and who has access to that data. Unlike data custodians, who focus on the technical aspects of data management, the owner has the authority to make decisions about data policies and controls. There are distinct responsibilities among the roles involved in the data lifecycle; for example, while data controllers manage processing activities, the ultimate authority lies with the data owner when it comes to defining security practices.
