Which of the following is necessary to ensure consistent protection for an organization's information assets?

Classification model

Control assessment

Data ownership

Regulatory requirements

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The answer to the question is A. Classification model. This is because a classification model is a system of assigning labels or categories to information assets based on their value, sensitivity, and criticality to the organization. A classification model helps to ensure consistent protection for the organization's information assets by:

Providing a common language and criteria for defining and communicating the security requirements and expectations for the information assets

Enabling the identification and prioritization of the information assets that need the most protection and resources

Facilitating the implementation and enforcement of the appropriate level of security controls and measures for the information assets, based on their classification

Supporting the compliance with the legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations regarding the information assets, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
