QuestionQ69

Security Architecture

An organization has recently migrated data to a new file management system. The architect chooses to use a discretionary authorization model for the new system. Which of the following best explains this choice?

  • A The responsibility of migrating data to the new file management system was outsourced to the vendor providing the platform.
  • B The permissions were not able to be migrated to the new system, and several stakeholders were made responsible for granting appropriate access.
  • C The legacy file management system did not support modern authentication techniques despite the business requirements.
  • D The data custodians were selected by business stakeholders to ensure backups of the file management system are maintained off site.
Explanation

Discretionary authorization delegates access-granting decisions to resource owners or other designated stakeholders, enabling them to assign appropriate permissions. This aligns with several stakeholders being responsible for granting access after permissions could not be migrated.
