Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 86
Which statement best describes the Data Security Lifecycle?
Answer options
- A. The Data Security Lifecycle has six stages, is strictly linear, and never varies.
- B. The Data Security Lifecycle has six stages, can be non-linear, and varies in that some data may never pass through all stages.
- C. The Data Security Lifecycle has five stages, is circular, and varies in that some data may never pass through all stages.
- D. The Data Security Lifecycle has six stages, can be non-linear, and is distinct in that data must always pass through all phases.
- E. The Data Security Lifecycle has five stages, can be non-linear, and is distinct in that data must always pass through all phases.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B because it accurately reflects that the Data Security Lifecycle consists of six stages and can vary, as not all data will go through every stage. The other options are incorrect due to either stating the wrong number of stages, misrepresenting the linearity, or incorrectly claiming that all data must pass through all phases.
