The primary purpose of data classification is to determine the value of data to the organization. This helps in defining protection levels, access controls, and risk mitigation strategies.

Option A (Regulatory compliance requirements) is important but not the primary reason. Compliance is a result of data classification, not its purpose.

Option B (Facilitating DLP rules) is a secondary benefit, but classification is broader and not limited to DLP.

Option C (Prioritizing IT expenses) is unrelated to why organizations classify data.

Thus, D is the correct answer, as classification helps organizations prioritize data protection based on its value.

SVR02 has a CVSS score of 7.1 and is exploitable, making it the highest priority for remediation.

SVR01 (CVSS 8.9) is not exploitable, so it is a lower risk.

SVR03 (CVSS 3.5) is exploitable but has a lower severity than SVR02.

SVR04 (CVSS 6.7) is not exploitable, reducing its urgency.

Thus, B (SVR02) is the correct answer, as it presents the highest immediate risk.

Business process interruption is the inhibitor to remediation that this scenario illustrates. Business process interruption is when the remediation of a vulnerability or an incident requires the disruption or suspension of a critical or essential business process, such as the point-of-sale application. This can cause operational, financial, or reputational losses for the organization, and may outweigh the benefits of the remediation. Therefore, the organization may decide to postpone or avoid the remediation until a more convenient time, such as a change freeze window, which is a period of time when no changes are allowed to the IT environment12. Service-level agreement, degrading functionality, and proprietary system are other possible inhibitors to remediation, but they are not relevant to this scenario. Service-level agreement is when the remediation of a vulnerability or an incident violates or affects the contractual obligations or expectations of the service provider or the customer. Degrading functionality is when the remediation of a vulnerability or an incident reduces or impairs the performance or usability of a system or an application. Proprietary system is when the remediation of a vulnerability or an incident involves a system or an application that is owned or controlled by a third party, and the organization has limited or no access or authority to modify it3.

Awareness training and education are essential to help staff recognize phishing emails and understand safe email practices, particularly when using legacy applications that might not have the latest security features. Training helps build a culture of security mindfulness, which is critical for preventing social engineering attacks. According to CompTIA Security+ and CySA+ frameworks, user education is a fundamental aspect of organizational defense against phishing. Options like replacing applications or implementing MFA (while helpful) do not directly address the need for user awareness in this scenario.

Risk Acceptance means acknowledging a risk and choosing not to take further action because the cost of mitigation may outweigh the benefits.

It is the last resort when:

The risk is low impact or unlikely to occur.

Other options (mitigation, transfer, avoidance) are not feasible.

Why Not Other Options?

A (Transfer) Moving risk to a third party (e.g., insurance).

C (Mitigation) Implementing security controls to reduce risk.

D (Avoidance) Eliminating the risk entirely (e.g., discontinuing a service).
