Data Classification
Data Classification involves categorizing data into predefined categories based on its sensitivity, importance, or compliance requirements. This step is crucial in ensuring that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access. The process typically begins with identifying the types of data that exist within an organization, such as financial information, personal details, or confidential research findings. Next, a classification scheme is developed to determine the level of protection required for each type of data. Data is then classified into categories based on this scheme, and corresponding security controls are implemented to safeguard it. This may involve encryption, access controls, or other measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure. Effective data classification enables organizations to manage risk, meet regulatory requirements, and maintain stakeholder trust.

Data Classification
Access Control
In this process step, Access Control is performed to ensure that users have the necessary permissions and privileges to access specific resources within the system. This involves verifying user identities and authenticating their login credentials against a centralized database or directory service. Once authenticated, the system checks the user's role or profile to determine what actions they are authorized to perform. If approved, the user is granted access to the required functionality or data, while being restricted from accessing unauthorized areas. Access Control also involves tracking and logging all access events, enabling administrators to monitor and audit user activity for security and compliance purposes, thus maintaining a secure and auditable environment.
Access Control
Encryption
The encryption process step involves converting plaintext data into unreadable ciphertext to protect it from unauthorized access. This is achieved through the use of algorithms and cryptographic keys that scramble the data in a way that makes it unintelligible without the correct decryption key. The encryption process typically involves taking the input data, applying a specific encryption algorithm such as AES or RSA, and then outputting the encrypted ciphertext. In some cases, additional steps may be taken to further secure the encrypted data, such as hashing or salting. Overall, the encryption step is critical in ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential and protected from potential security threats.
Encryption
Audit Trails
The Audit Trails process step involves tracking and recording all changes made to sensitive data or system configurations within the organization. This includes capturing details of user identities, dates, times, and specific actions taken such as updates, deletions, or access modifications. The purpose is to maintain an accurate and transparent record of all activities performed on critical systems, ensuring accountability and enabling investigations if necessary. Audit Trails are often used to monitor and enforce compliance with regulatory requirements, internal policies, and data protection protocols.
Audit Trails
Incident Response
The Incident Response process is triggered when an incident occurs or is reported. This involves identifying the potential impact of the incident and assessing its severity to determine the appropriate response. The process aims to mitigate or prevent further damage, contain the situation, and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Key steps include: notification and alerting stakeholders, activating the incident response team, assessing the situation, containing the issue, eradicating the root cause, restoring services, reviewing lessons learned, documenting the incident, and implementing corrective actions. The goal is to minimize downtime, reduce risk exposure, and ensure business continuity by responding promptly and effectively to incidents.
Incident Response
Compliance
The compliance step ensures that all project activities are conducted in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and organizational policies. This involves identifying and assessing potential risks related to regulatory requirements, then implementing measures to mitigate or eliminate these risks. The process includes reviewing existing standards and procedures, updating them as necessary, and verifying their effective implementation throughout the project lifecycle. Compliance also entails maintaining accurate records of adherence to regulations and reporting any non-compliances to relevant authorities. This step is crucial in preventing reputational damage, avoiding costly fines, and ensuring that the project meets its intended goals without compromising safety, security, or ethical considerations.
