A compliance analyst is triaging Amazon Macie sensitive data findings and wants to know the severity scale used to rank them. Which set is correct?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B
Amazon Macie rates sensitive data findings as Low, Medium, or High. The rating reflects factors such as the kind and volume of sensitive data detected, so analysts can use it to prioritize review. The other scales use labels or numbers that Macie does not apply to these findings.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Info, Warning, Error, and Critical are log or alerting levels used by many tools. Macie does not use this scale for its sensitive data findings.
- C. Numeric scores are not how Macie labels sensitive data findings. Analysts read the severity as a named level, not a number from 1 to 5.
- D. Green, Amber, and Red are a status convention used in dashboards. They are not the severity labels Macie applies to findings.
