An organization handle different type of data and source that is stored in various locations every day. Most of that data handled is extremely sensitive. Imagine this data being stolen or leaked, that will impact heavily for the organization’s reputation and will have to pay penalties. This is where data classification comes it will help you to protect and label you data properly.

What is Data Classification?
Data Classification simply means organizing the data into categories based on the access, content, data type, etc. It can be also defined as a process which analyze data and organize into categories based upon its sensitivity, privacy, and legal requirements, such as confidentiality, availability, and integrity.
Why Data Classification?
Data Classification is needed to protect the data more efficiently and play an important role in data security, risk management and compliance.
- Efficient access to data
- Secure sensitive data
- Reduce the Risk on critical data
- Manage data governance policies
- Controlling and limiting access to sensitive data
- Eliminate data redundancy
- Integrate classification into DLP
- Regulatory Requirement
When to outsource CISO function
- Your organization is at the implementation stage of the
information security initiatives. - Security program is matured, it only requires minimal
interventions. - You operate in a less regulated industry which does not require inhouse CISO.
- You lack internal expertise related to security.
- Your intent is to increase your digital foot print/major IT investments are planned.

How Does Cyber Labs help you with Data Classification and DLP Consultancy?
Cyber Labs will first understand your need data classification and will work closer with you to identify your sensitive data. We follow the three main types of data classification that are considered industry standards. Namely Content-based classification, Context-based classification, and User-based classification.
We start with User based classification where we will rely on the user’s knowledge then move to Context-based classification and finish with Content based classification rule set.
Our Approach
- Design program objectives, Identify business data handle by key stakeholders and categories of sensitive information
- Drafting Classification Framework – According to the scope and business requirements, establish data classification framework
- Data Inventory & Classification – Assist in formulating data inventory for the scope and classification
- Prioritize plan – Based on Data Classification Framework, prioritize data protection recommendation
- Rollout of Framework throughout organization – Implementing covering business departments
Cyber Labs throughout this journey will define and implement a data classification framework, identify data flows within the organization and define their criticality levels, Understand the risks of current data handling practices, recommend controls to minimize the risk, Formulate DLP rules based on the organization wide data communications as an input for the technical DLP implementation and will provide user awareness and framework roll out support and guidance.
