Data comes in diverse forms and sizes, falling into two major categories: Personal Data and High-Risk Data. Each category requires specific classification and security rules. The best practices from the US and NATO Military Classification Scheme require digital assets and data to be classified into five levels of confidentiality: Unclassified, Sensitive, Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret.
Public sector contractors and military subcontractors are obligated to address all confidentiality levels in their business operations. Even if you are from other vertical, keeping to these guidelines will help you improve your sensitive data security and streamline compliance. But you have to overcome the primary challenge that lies not in determining what qualifies as confidential data but in maintaining a comprehensive inventory of it. This involves understanding its location, access permissions, secure management, and, most importantly, compliance with regulations.
