Episode 31 — Spaced Retrieval Review: Data life cycle management from collection to destruction (Domain 3A-1 to 3B-4)

This review episode locks in rapid recall for Domain 3 by walking the data life cycle as a single continuous control story, from the moment data is collected to the point it is destroyed or irreversibly de-identified. You’ll rehearse how collection decisions shape downstream risk, how processing and storage create new exposure through copies and transformations, and how sharing and access patterns either preserve or break purpose limitation and minimization. We’ll connect retention and disposal to the operational realities of backups, logs, archives, and vendor-held data, and we’ll reinforce how evidence and ownership must stay traceable at each stage so audits and incident scoping are defensible. Expect short scenario prompts that force you to choose the best next action, identify which life cycle stage is failing, and justify your choice using risk, feasibility, and control enforceability rather than policy language alone.
