This is like a trick question or something. I'm just going to go with my gut and choose Integrity. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky!

Hold up, are we sure this isn't about Recoverability? I mean, the company just had a ransomware attack, so they're probably trying to make sure they can recover the data.

Hmm, I don't think this is about Encryption. The question is specifically asking about the legal department's instructions, not the technical implementation.

But could it also be A) Recoverability, since they want to be able to recover the data in case of future attacks?
