Answer: C
Management should ensure that all information assets (data
and systems) have an appointed owner who makes decisions
about classification and access rights. System owners
typically delegate day-to-day custodianship to the systems
delivery/operations group and security responsibilities to a
security administrator. Owners, however, remain accountable
for the maintenance of appropriate security measures.
