• Is data classification something that you work with often?
    How do you decide the data classes and does this impact your administration of the database?


    When it comes to defining what data elements should be classified and case usages for who, when and where the data should be accessed, then the business (not the DBA team) is responsible for gathering and documenting the requirements.The role of the DBA is coordinating with Data Governance and Compliance on the framework and best practices and then implementing it. Also, the DBA team should be responsible for, or at least collaborate on, an enterprise wide data dictionary, because you can't protect something if you don't know where all it exists.
