Classifying Yale Data and IT Systems
Everyone granted access to Yale Data and ITS Systems has a responsibility to protect them. However, not all Yale Data and IT Systems require the same level of protection. We determine the security requirements for Yale Data and IT Systems by classifying them into three risk levels: high, moderate and low.
The Protect Your Data webpage explains how to classify Yale Data in accordance with Yale Policy 1604. Users of the data should also understand if the data is subject to any external obligations.
The Classifying and Protecting Yale IT Systems guideline explains how to classify Yale IT Systems based on the data classification, availability requirement, and any external obligations.
