Ann, as the IS manager, needs to determine the sensitivity level of the data being processed in the new systems. To determine the data classification, she should consult the owner of the data.
The owner of the data is the individual or group that has the ultimate responsibility for the data. They determine who has access to the data, what the data is used for, and how it is protected. The owner is the one who decides on the sensitivity level of the data, as they have the best understanding of the data and its importance to the organization.
The steward is responsible for managing the data on behalf of the owner, ensuring that it is used appropriately and that access is granted to those who need it. The custodian is responsible for physically safeguarding the data and ensuring that it is available when needed. The user interacts with the data as part of their job responsibilities.
While all of these individuals can provide insight into the sensitivity level of the data, the owner has the final say on the classification. Therefore, Ann should consult with the data owner to determine the appropriate classification for the data being processed in the new systems.
