Data Governance is separate from the Office of Information Security.  We are involved with the group that does govern 
data.

Some great examples of data classification policies.

I'm wondering about the governing body for data classification? Do institutions have a governing body separate from 
information security? Or does infosec wear both hats, especially at small institutions?

Hi Marty,

Here is our data classification policy:

The chart found here: 
http://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/information-for-it-staff/information-security/minimum-security-standards.html<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buffalo.edu%2Fubit%2Finformation-for-it-staff%2Finformation-security%2Fminimum-security-standards.html&data=02%7C01%7Cjbole%40STEVENSON.EDU%7C852a397069d645857a5708d72d81f1e3%7C93599c7168554022bac5141d808346d1%7C0%7C0%7C637027908453095909&sdata=yqtjU%2B8UZx0Nh3nPLA4IuT5nwZSoRXYUkNpeAXCC16Q%3D&reserved=0>
  is meant to help clarify the risks for a variety of risks and provide some guidance on what needs to be done to 
secure the data.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Cathy

Good Afternoon



We at Rockefeller University are considering how to move forward with the elusive goal/initiative of data 
classification, and would like to see how others are addressing this. I would greatly appreciate if you could respond 
to this brief survey. I will be happy to share the results with anyone who is interested:



 1. Do you have a data classification policy on your website or intranet?

 2. Do you use any tools to enable your user community to classify their data? If so, which ones? These could be 
enterprise tools, or even basic  tools that are built into other applications or platforms (e.g. Office365, Box, etc.) 
3. Do you enforce this policy, or in any way require data to be classified?



Thanks , and I wish everyone a wonderful labor day,

Marty

Thank You,
