Key idea: Governance & Data Retention
Indefinite collection increases privacy, security, and compliance risk. Retention should be justified, classified, controlled, and enforceable. On the CCAR-P exam, questions in the "Governance, Safety, and Risk Management" domain test whether you can map a scenario's constraints to the right choice. Read the requirement carefully, eliminate options that violate any single constraint, and pick the one that satisfies all of them with the least operational overhead.
