Identify any categories of data or classification of data.

If the application requirements do not call for compartmentalized data and data protection, this requirement is not applicable.

Authenticate to the application as a regular user. Using application functionality, attempt to delete data that has been assigned to a protected category.

Perform two modification attempts, one successful and one unsuccessful.

Testing this will require obtaining access to test data that has been assigned to a protected category, or having an authorized user access the data for you.

Review the log data and ensure both the successful and unsuccessful deletion attempts are logged.
