We’re about 10,000 FTE, part of a state system.  For us, Info sec
participates in data governance but we are not the overall owners.  That
role is in the application world since they know more about what data will
be used for, which systems are systems of record versus copies or
derivatives, etc.

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:

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.

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,
