Hello,

I too am a fan of Stanford’s work.

Here is ours which follows similar thinking:
https://security.ucop.edu/policies/institutional-information-and-it-resource-classification.html


We have a swim lane model in the standard on that page that is a place to start with the decision tree.

Have a delightful day,

Hi All,

I've been tasked with developing a decision tree to assist researchers with classifying their data. In addition, we 
would also like to develop this to be used to classify instituional data. After determining the classification, the 
user would then be able to identify what services are available as well as gain an understanding of what minimum 
security controls need to be applied.

Does your University/College currently have a decision tree, framework or something similar available to share? Feel 
free to reach out to me off list if that works better. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Matthew
