A cloud administrator is implementing a system to handle data with varying sensitivities. Which of the following would be the BEST approach to ensure that data is handled according to its importance to the organization?
You selected this option
Use a dedicated sandbox environment for all testing operations that involve organization data.
You selected this option
Label all data at rest with metadata tags to ensure it can be identified swiftly by cloud personnel.
You selected this option
Develop and implement a data classification scheme that specifies different levels of protection for data based on its sensitivity and importance.
You selected this option
Implement multifactor authentication for accessing any data stored in the cloud environment.
Applying a data classification scheme is the best approach because it helps organizations to protect data based on its importance to the organization. It ensures that sensitive data receives a higher level of protection while less sensitive data doesn't consume unnecessary resources. Labeling data at rest may help identify the data, but it doesn't inherently protect it. Applying MFA for data access is a strong security measure, but it is not specifically a classification strategy. Lastly, using a sandbox for testing doesn't address the protection of live data based on its classification.
