Having a process to identify and classify sensitive data is essential to protect your important and confidential information. It also allows you to use it more effectively. It is an essential part of an information security risk management programme.
Typically there are four classifications for data,
- public
- internal only
- confidential and
- restricted
Data handling is the process of sorting, archiving or disposing of data securely. It is helpful to have policies and procedures to manage electronic data so that it is always managed securely throughout an organisation.
Data loss is an error in an information system which results in information being destroyed or lost in storage, transmission or processing. Having a back-up and disaster recovery system in place can prevent data loss.
Find out more about these topics and ensure your workforce understands your organisation’s data security requirements by taking the USecure Courses on Data Classification, Data Storage and Data loss.
