Data Classification Policy

In many ways, data has become the primary currency of modern organizations. It doesn’t matter whether you are a large business enterprise, SMB, government or non-profit, the collection, management, protection and analysis of data is a determining factor in your overall success.

This policy, written by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium, establishes an enterprise-wide framework for categorizing and classifying all data created, collected and stored during the daily operation of the company.

    Featured text from the policy:

    PROCEDURES

    All unauthorized access to facilities, systems and devices is considered a major breach of security, whether the data involved is classified as restricted or not. Any unauthorized access should be reported, investigated and mitigated in accordance with the policies, procedures and protocols established by the company.

    Access to restricted data will be limited to employees and systems designated by job description or security protocol as having the authority to access it. Systems and employees will have to provide appropriate authentication credentials before accessing restricted data in accordance with established security protocols and policies. No employee or system will be allowed to access restricted data without proper authentication credentials.

Improve your data classification knowledge with our seven-page policy document. Previously priced at $19, this is now available for download at just $9. Alternatively, enjoy complimentary access with a Premium annual subscription. Click here to find out more.
