Episode 29 — Data Classification: Sensitivity Labels and Handling Rules
Classification assigns value and handling requirements to data, and it’s central to both exam content and real-world practice. This episode explains the different levels of sensitivity, from public to highly confidential, and how organizations apply rules for storage, sharing, and protection. Classification provides the foundation for encryption, access control, and retention strategies.
We also look at how misclassification leads to risk, and why consistency is essential in multicloud environments. On the exam, classification questions often test whether you can link sensitivity to appropriate technical and administrative safeguards. Understanding this linkage makes classification a tool for risk management, not just compliance. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
