Which of the following is the GREATEST benefit of adopting data minimization practices?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The greatest benefit of adopting data minimization practices is that the associated threat surface is reduced.
Data minimization is a privacy principle that states that personal data should be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which they are processed. Data minimization helps to protect data privacy by reducing the amount and type of personal data that are collected, stored, processed, or shared by an organization. This in turn reduces the exposure of personal data to potential threats, such as unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or loss.
