Selected Answer: B
My answer is option B - the violations may not be categorized according to the organization's risk profile. The default settings may not align with the organization's unique risk environment, and as a result, violations may not be given the appropriate level of attention. This could lead to real violations being overlooked or false positives being reported.

Selected Answer: B
The use of vendor default settings for DLP systems can result in violations being categorized in a way that is not aligned with the organization's risk profile. This means that violations may not be prioritized based on the potential impact on the organization, and resources may not be allocated appropriately to manage the risks. This could result in the organization focusing on less significant violations, while more significant ones go unnoticed.
