The company must enforce policies and provide meetings to educate employees about the classification labels used inside the company. The classification label can be attached to the information but to pick the right label employee should read and understand the security classification criteria table. (Peltier, 1998). Over classification can lead to information being redundant or not being used as only certain employees have access to it. Therefore, labeling information as confidential if disclosing such information introduce severe damage. Non sensitive information that doesn’t require such a protection should remain private or unclassified to reduce resources consumption. (Protective Security Policy Committee, 2014).
