Information classification policy
Assign topic to the user
Answer:
The purpose of Information classification policy is to ensure that information is protected at an appropriate level, and to do that you have to specify what has to be done and by whom. As a high level document you do not need to provide detailed steps, but you have to include the general overview. For example, to develop an Information classification policy compliant with ISO 27001 you have to describe these steps:
- identify information
- classify information
- label information
- handle information
And for each step you have to define who will perform them.
