Sensitivity: The quality or measure of the potential impact that could result from unauthorized access, modification, or loss of data. It is often determined by legal, ethical, or business requirements and is used to guide decisions around the level of security controls that should be applied to protect specific types of data. Higher sensitivity information generally warrants more stringent security measures.
