Hi All,
NIST just published for comment NIST Internal Report NIST IR 8496 ipd Data Classification Concepts and Considerations for Improving Data Protection.
This publication defines basic terminology and explains fundamental concepts in data classification so there is a common language for all to use. It can also help organizations improve the quality and efficiency of their data protection approaches by becoming more aware of data classification considerations and taking them into account in business and mission use cases, such as secure data sharing, compliance reporting and monitoring, zero-trust architecture, and large language models.
The comment period for this draft is open until 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday, January 9, 2024. Visit our project page ( https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/data-classification#project-promo) for a copy of the draft and comment form.
