Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The first step to mitigate further risks when a systems audit uncovers a shared drive folder containing sensitive employee data with no access controls is to restrict access to the folder. This can be done by implementing appropriate access controls, such as user authentication, role-based access, and permissions, to ensure that only authorized individuals can view and access the sensitive data.

I'm surprised the answer isn't 'E) All of the above'. That's usually the case with these tricky exam questions!

Hah, I almost picked B. 'Possessing too many types of data' - that's a new one! Gotta watch out for that data overload.

I was gonna go with D, but now I'm not so sure. Overgeneralization can definitely happen when you try to measure too many things at once.

Hmm, I was leaning towards A, but C makes a lot of sense too. Gotta be careful not to draw big conclusions from a small data set.

User 4: It's definitely crucial to be cautious when drawing conclusions from a small data set. Both A and C highlight the risks of overgeneralization.
