ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
During a kickoff meeting for a new customer-analytics platform, the project manager asks who should be tasked with performing routine data backups and updating access-control lists for the associated database. According to commonly accepted data-governance roles, which party holds this responsibility?
In a data-governance model, the data custodian-also known in some organizations as the data administrator-is the IT or operational role charged with the day-to-day safeguarding of information assets. Custodians implement and maintain technical controls such as backups, encryption, and access-control mechanisms, ensuring that the protections specified by policy are correctly applied. By contrast, the data owner is a business role that determines data classification, sets usage policy, and grants or revokes access. End users merely consume the data, while a privacy officer focuses on regulatory compliance and policy oversight rather than operational control tasks. Therefore, maintaining backups and updating access-control lists squarely falls under the data custodian's duties.
