CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 311

Which of the following roles would most likely have direct access to the senior management team?

Answer options

• A. Data custodian
• B. Data owner
• C. Data protection officer
• D. Data controller

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Data protection officer is responsible for overseeing data protection strategy and implementation, which requires close collaboration with senior management to ensure compliance and risk management. The other roles, while important, typically do not have the same level of direct access to senior management as they focus more on specific data management tasks rather than strategic oversight.
