Data Owners

B.

Data owners are responsible for assigning user entitlements and approving access to the systems for which they are responsible.

Platform security, intrusion detection and antivirus controls are all within the responsibility of the information security manager.

The role of a data owner in an organization is to manage and oversee the information and data assets, including establishing and implementing risk management strategies to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data. The data owner is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the data is adequately protected and secure from potential threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.

Of the options provided, the area that data owners are primarily responsible for establishing risk mitigation methods is entitlement changes. Entitlement changes refer to the process of granting or revoking access privileges to data or systems within an organization. This is a critical area of concern as it involves managing access to sensitive data and systems to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

As data owners are responsible for managing the information and data assets of an organization, they must ensure that proper security controls and measures are in place to manage and monitor entitlement changes. This includes establishing policies and procedures for granting or revoking access, conducting regular access reviews, and monitoring access logs to detect any unauthorized or suspicious activities.

While data owners may also have some responsibilities related to platform security, intrusion detection, and antivirus controls, these areas are typically managed by other security stakeholders in the organization, such as security engineers or administrators. However, the data owner may collaborate with these stakeholders to ensure that security measures are in place and functioning effectively to protect the organization's data assets.
