Data Classification

About Data Classification

Data classification involves organizing data based on sensitivity, confidentiality, and criticality to ensure that it is handled appropriately, secured properly, and access to it is controlled based on sensitivity. By categorizing data into different levels or classes based on the risk associated with the data, organizations can better understand what data they have, its sensitivity, and its value to the organization. It helps organizations implement appropriate security controls and meet regulatory compliance requirements for protecting sensitive data.

In addition, data classification can improve incident response during a data breach or security incident. Organizations can respond quickly and appropriately by knowing which data was affected and what level of response is needed. Data classification is crucial for organizations to protect their data and comply with regulatory requirements.

Does your company need it?

Data classification is a best practice for any organization that handles sensitive information, such as financial data, personally identifiable information (PII), trade secrets, or confidential business information. This includes organizations of all sizes and across all industries, including but not limited to finance, healthcare, government, retail, and technology. Any organization wanting to protect its data and ensure it is handled appropriately should consider implementing a data classification system.
