The data engineer is the role responsible for ensuring that the privacy of data is maintained from on-premises systems to the cloud data stores. Is this statement correct?

  • AYes Correct
  • BNo
Data engineers own data privacy and governance rules spanning on-premises to cloud data stores. The grounding states the data engineer is responsible for ensuring that the privacy of data is maintained within the cloud and spanning from on-premises to the cloud data stores.

Why A is correct: Correct. The grounding states the data engineer is responsible for ensuring that the privacy of data is maintained within the cloud and spanning from on-premises to the cloud data stores.

Why B is wrong: Answering No would wrongly assign this to the database administrator, but the grounding ties database-level security and access control to the administrator, while data privacy spanning on-premises and cloud data stores belongs to the data engineer.
