The Owner of a system or data is primarily responsible for determining the classification of the data and the controls necessary to protect it. They make decisions on how the data should be handled, dictate access controls, and are often decision-makers on acceptable risk levels for their data. While they may delegate certain tasks to others like Custodians or Processors, the Owner retains the ultimate responsibility for the data's security.
