An IT administrator needs to ensure data retention standards are implemented on an enterprise application. Which of the following describes the administrator’s role?

Answer options

• A. Processor
• B. Custodian
• C. Privacy officer
• D. Owner

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Custodian, as this role involves managing and protecting data according to retention policies.
