Information is a
Message which is send and received more precisely a meaningful message makes meaningful information. This is a general definition easily understood by all, but meaningful information does not mean every information has to be protected and secured.
Information needs to be classified in a way that gives a broad picture of what to protect and up to what extent to protect. Let’s define information in few steps….
- What is information
- What is the classification
- What is the context of the information
- What is the purpose of the information
- What is the resource of the information
There are many more questions which will be discussed in future blogs that make information and decide the level or classification of the information.
Levels could be defined broadly as
- Confidential
- Private
- Public
The above mentioned levels could be good and acceptable for a commercial organization but may not be suitable for any other type of organization as Govt or Military organization or even for an NGO
