Classified Information Spillage: An event where information that has been classified is transferred, processed, or stored on a system that is not accredited or authorized to handle data of such classification level. The spillage could occur accidentally or deliberately, and it poses a significant risk because it may lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or classified information. Measures are taken in organizations to prevent such spillages and to manage them effectively when they occur.
