When two people each have half of the knowledge for how to do something.

When two people each have half of the knowledge for how to do something.

• A. Data Loss
• B. Split Knowledge
• C. Cost of Repairs
• D. Loss of Reputation

Answer: (B)

This describes split knowledge. It’s the idea that critical information is divided so that no single person has everything needed to act alone; two people must combine their partial knowledge to proceed. This provides a safeguard by requiring collaboration, reducing the risk of misuse or error if one person is compromised or unavailable. It’s not data loss, cost of repairs, or loss of reputation, which relate to different concerns like accidentally losing information, expense to fix issues, or damage to trust and image.
