Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 1044

The BEST way to mitigate the high cost of retrieving electronic evidence associated with potential litigation is to implement policies and procedures for:

Answer options

• A. data classification and labeling.
• B. data mining and analytics.
• C. data retention and destruction.
• D. data logging and monitoring.

Correct answer: C

Explanation
