Which role is primarily responsible for determining the classifications of data and ensuring that it is handled in accordance with organizational policies?
The Owner is responsible for determining the classification of the data they are responsible for and ensuring that it is protected adequately according to the classification. They establish the policies for how the data is to be handled and used. Custodians are tasked with implementing the data protection measures set by the Owner, but they do not determine data classification. Controllers and Processors are roles specific to data privacy and do not directly relate to determining data classification in the context of ownership.
