Classify your data

Knowing the classification of your data is integral to its security and UCSF's overall protection. Data classification helps determine how data should be protected in compliance with internal and external regulations and other contractual requirements. 

Directions

  1. Get a better understanding of Data Classification, and the definition of protection and availability levels.
  2. Visit UCSF's Data Classification Standard for definitions and examples of each classification level and restricted data types.
    1. Take extra care if handling P3 and/or P4 data due to possible legal and reputational damages.
    2. A3 and A4 data must be backed up and recoverable.
