A finance assistant at a regional bus operator received information security approval to upload last year's fuel invoices to the company's Claude account to prepare a cost summary for the board. A month later, the fleet manager asks her to use the same invoices, plus drivers' fuel-card records, to identify which drivers refuel most often. Her approval request described only the board cost summary. What should she do?
- AGo ahead, because the invoices were already approved for use in the company's account.
- BGo ahead with the invoices only, and leave the fuel-card records out of the analysis.
- CAsk Claude to check the new request against the policy before uploading the records.
- DSeek new approval, since the earlier one covered a different purpose and different data. Correct
Why A is wrong: Reusing approved material feels safe, but the approval covered a stated purpose. A new purpose that looks at individual drivers was never assessed.
Why B is wrong: Dropping the new records seems to stay inside the approval, but the task itself has changed to analysing individual drivers. The purpose, not just the data, needs approving.
Why C is wrong: Asking Claude feels like a diligence step, but Claude has no authority to grant approval. The information security team decides, and it has not been asked.
Why D is correct: Approval is granted for the use described in the request. The new task adds personal records and a new purpose, so it needs its own approval before any upload.
