A data handling policy sets the rules for properly classifying, labeling, storing, transmitting, and ultimately destroying sensitive information. Deciding which sensitivity level applies to newly collected customer records and marking them accordingly is a direct application of those rules. The remaining options are covered by other policies: penetration-testing schedules belong in security assessment or vulnerability management procedures, an incident-response plan defines roles during a breach, and firewall ACL configuration is handled by network security standards-not by the data handling policy.
