Not all data is created equal. Data classification is an important step when organizing security systems and controls. Data classification is used to identify and organize information that has similar security control needs. This allows appropriate access controls to be created. When you start thinking about security models, it is important to consider your data classifications, because security models are used to help identify who gets to look at what data. You can’t do this without first classifying and organizing your data resources.
Different organizations will use different types of classification schemes, depending on the data resources in place. This is also something you will hear a lot when it comes to the government and perhaps especially the military. Table 14.1 lists common classifications in use within the government.
