Assignment Description
Many organizations collect a significant amount of data that are used to create useful information. This information is used by the organization to manage personnel, customers, and resources and to measure business performance. Some information is more valuable and sensitive than other types of information used in the organization and therefore, information should be protected depending on its type. This includes the computers and networks used to process, transmit, or store data as well. Data classification schemes are often developed to address these issues. Some common schemes are identified as the following:
· Unclassified, Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret
· Public, Sensitive, and Confidential
· Company Proprietary, Business-Sensitive, and Critical
· PII, Business, and Public
Identify a data classification scheme for an organization that processes, transmits, and stores various types of data and information related to day-to-day activities. Consider data and information that may be created, handled, or disseminated by various types of business units in the organization.
Assignment Details
Part 1: Write a paper of 500-700 words that will be presented to the board of directors or executive management that includes the following:
· Explain why it is necessary for an organization to consider developing a data classification scheme.
· You will describe a policy that implements the data classification scheme for your organization that processes, transmits, or stores different types of data and information.
· Finally, explain how you would communicate the importance of a policy that implements a data classification scheme for an organization to reduce risks related to unauthorized access and disclosure.
· You should consider how you would classify and handle the following information:

· Press release about the acquisition of a new business unit
