Sensitive data may be stored in databases, file shares, exports, backups, or local caches with different encryption controls.

Checks to make

Inventory storage locations and data classes, verify encryption settings and key ownership, and check for plaintext exports or temporary copies. Confirm access logging and recovery procedures while keeping keys separate from protected data.
