Secret/High Risk – Any data that has legal requirements for confidentiality and could incur financial penalties for disclosure. These include financial information, Trade Secrets, payroll, personnel files or any information falling under privacy requirements. The data owners must ensure that High Risk information is not exposed.

Confidential – This is data that would not incur any penalties or reparations if exposed but is considered confidential in nature. This includes employee performance evaluations, computer passwords, internal audit reports and customer transaction data.

Internal Use Only – Information that is neither Secret nor Confidential, but disclosure is against company policy. This includes dialup access numbers, employee training material, and internal policy manuals.

      • Information believed to be classified or incorrect must be treated as confidential. The recipient must report this possible classification error to the owner of the information.
      • Information fits under multiple classification levels will assume the classification of the highest Additionally, if a specific storage media contains multiple classification levels then it will assume the highest classification level. Therefore, if Secret files are placed on an existing CD without a label, then the CD will be labeled as classified.
      • Information provided from an external source must be classified appropriately. Label must preserve copyright notices, author credits, guidelines for interpretation and restricted dissemination.
