Data Classification: The process of organizing data into categories for its most effective and efficient use. Classification helps manage risk by applying appropriate controls based on the sensitivity and value of the data. It typically involves categorizing data as public, internal, confidential, or secret to guide users on how to handle and secure it. Proper classification is crucial for compliance, data security, and minimizing the risk of data breaches.
