A data analyst is working with a dataset that includes customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses. According to common data governance standards, how should this type of data be classified to ensure it is properly safeguarded?
The described data, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers, is used to identify specific individuals and is classified as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This classification mandates strict access controls to protect individual privacy. Payment Card Industry (PCI) data relates to credit card information, while Protected Health Information (PHI) pertains to medical records. Classifying this data as publicly available would be inappropriate and would violate privacy principles.
