How do you ensure users are risk assessing the sensitivity of information, classifying and labeling them correctly? 360 Protective Marking for Microsoft Outlook and Office is a simple to use email and document classification tool which guides your users through the process.
ISO 27001 (formally known as ISO/IEC 27001:2005) is a specification for an information security management system (ISMS), published in 2005 and revised in 2013.
Information classification is a key part of any ISO 27001 project.
Control objective A8.2 is titled ‘Information Classification’ and instructs that organisations “ensure that information receives an appropriate level of protection”.
Typical data classification includes 4 levels, for example:
- Confidential (only senior management have access)
- Restricted (most employees have access)
- Internal (all employees have access)
- Public information (everyone has access)
Who classifies and how is it enforced?
The content creator is the best person to determine the classification of documents and emails. Doing the classification at the time of creation, using a tool that guides them through the process and ensures that they don't forget to apply a classification.
Classify, label and add metadata at the point of creation
360 Protective Marking enables users to classify their documents and emails when they are writing them. When a user saves or prints a document or sends an email they are prompted to select a classification which applies metadata and visual labelling to the document or email.
The classification options can be tailored to your organisation needs and can include retention periods alongside standard classification which can be used by a records and document management system.
