Information security
The purpose of an information classification is to determine how worthy of protection information is and what protection it needs. Risk assessment is done to identify and evaluate threats and vulnerabilities so that appropriate security measures can be prioritized and implemented.
Classify your research data
As a researcher, you are responsible for classifying the information you work with from three perspectives: confidentiality, accuracy, and accessibility. The classification helps you determine the level of protection required for different types of research data and provides an important basis for your data management plan.
Make a risk assessment
A risk assessment is central to identifying which threats may affect your research information and to choosing proportionate protective measures. By working risk-based, you avoid both under- and over-protection, while at the same time contributing to structured and systematic information security work in research.
