CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 78

An information security analyst needs to work with an employee who can answer questions about how data for a specific system is used in the business. The analyst should seek out an employee who has the role of:

Answer options

• A. steward
• B. owner
• C. privacy officer
• D. systems administrator

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'owner' because the data owner is responsible for making decisions about how data is used and managed within the organization. The steward typically manages the data but does not have the authority to make business decisions regarding it. The privacy officer focuses on compliance with data protection regulations, while the systems administrator handles technical aspects and does not deal with data usage at a business level.
