Data Security: Controlling Classified Information in the UK Public Sector

The inevitable and inexorable rise in the levels of remote and home working during the current pandemic is placing extraordinary pressure on every public sector organisation’s cybersecurity. And wherever there is upheaval, so cyber criminals thrive. Naturally, an increase in cyber-threats puts all organisations at a heightened risk of a data breach, the average cost of which is also on the rise, with large-scale incidents resulting in the exposure of millions of data records.
Government protective markings or classification systems are designed to help determine, and indicate to others, the levels of protection required to prevent the compromise of valuable or sensitive information. The markings signal quickly and unambiguously, the value of data and the level of protection it requires.
