A. B. C. D.D.
Both are the components of a sensitivity label.
The following are incorrect: A Classification Set and a single Compartment.
Is incorrect because the nomenclature "Classification Set" is incorrect, there only one classifcation and it is not a "single compartment" but a Compartment Set.
A single classification and a single compartment.
Is incorrect because while there only is one classifcation, it is not a "single compartment" but a Compartment Set.
A Classification Set and user credentials.
Is incorrect because the nomenclature "Classification Set" is incorrect, there only one classifcation and it is not"user credential" but a Compartment Set.
The user would have their own sensitivity label.
An object's sensitivity label is a set of attributes that define the level of sensitivity or security clearance of the object. The components of an object's sensitivity label include a classification and a compartment or a combination of multiple classifications and compartments.
Classification refers to the level of sensitivity or security clearance that is assigned to the object. It is typically expressed in terms of a hierarchical classification system such as Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret. The classification level determines the level of protection and access control required for the object.
Compartment refers to a specific category of information that requires special handling and access control. Compartmentalization is used to restrict access to sensitive information to only those individuals who have a legitimate need-to-know. The compartment component of the sensitivity label is often represented by a codeword or abbreviation that identifies the specific compartment.
The answer A, "A Classification Set and a single Compartment," is partially correct. A classification set refers to a group of classification levels that are used together to provide a range of sensitivity levels. However, an object's sensitivity label can consist of multiple compartments, not just a single compartment.
Answer B, "A single classification and a single compartment," is incorrect because it does not allow for the use of multiple classifications or compartments, which is often necessary to properly classify and protect sensitive information.
Answer C, "A Classification Set and user credentials," is incorrect because user credentials are not a component of an object's sensitivity label. User credentials are used to authenticate and authorize access to the object, but they do not determine the object's sensitivity label.
Answer D, "A single classification and a Compartment Set," is incorrect because it does not allow for the use of multiple classifications, which is often necessary to properly classify and protect sensitive information. A Compartment Set is a group of compartments that are used together to provide a range of sensitivity levels, similar to a Classification Set.
