Which process may restrict data analysis needs and should be balanced with data access needs?

• A. Data governance
• B. Data security
• C. Data archiving
• D. Data visualization

Answer: (B)

Data security governs who can see and use data and under what conditions. Because security protections—like authentication, authorization, encryption, and data masking—are in place to protect sensitive information, they can restrict how much data analysts can access or what transformations they can perform. The idea is to balance these protections with the need for useful analysis, for example by granting appropriate role-based access, using secure analytics environments, or applying anonymization so analysts can work with meaningful data without exposing private details. While governance provides overarching rules, archiving affects data availability over time, and visualization focuses on presenting results, the aspect that directly limits analysis work and must be balanced with access needs is data security.
