A misplaced flash drive holding resident case data is filed only as 'clutter' by a clerk. What risk classification fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
That flash drive is not desk clutter—it is resident data on the loose. Misplacing it is information risk, full stop.
Full Explanation
Information risk covers loss, disclosure, alteration, or unavailability of sensitive data and records. Portable media with resident case data creates confidentiality and compliance exposure when misplaced. Filing the incident as mere clutter prevents notification, containment, and control improvement. Physical media loss is still primarily an information-risk event when content is sensitive.
