Discuss ISC2 CSSLP Exam Topic 8 Question 108

Which of the following are the levels of public or commercial data classification system?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Suggested Answer: A, B, D, F

The public or commercial data classification is also built upon a four-level model, which are as follows:

Public

Sensitive

Private

Confidential

Each level (top to bottom) represents an increasing level of sensitivity.

The public level is similar to unclassified level military classification system. This level of data should not cause any damage if disclosed.

Sensitive is a higher level of classification than public level data. This level of data requires a greater level of protection to maintain

confidentiality.

The Private level of data is intended for company use only. Disclosure of this level of data can damage the company.

The Confidential level of data is considered very sensitive and is intended for internal use only. Disclosure of this level of data can cause

serious damage to the company.

Answer C and E are incorrect. Unclassified and secret are the levels of military data classification.
