Information Classification
University information is broadly categorized into one of four levels.
...
- Level 0 information is information that is public to the world and not subject to any laws or restrictions on who can access it. This information could be posted on a billboard anywhere in the world, and it would be no problem.
...
- Most of the information used as a part of the academic and business processes of UMBC is Level 1 data. This includes any information that is covered under FERPA and any information that is related to UMBC business or academic programs, that isn't covered by another law or contractual restriction.
...
- Level 2 information is any information that could be implicated in a data breach under identity theft laws. This includes information such as:
- Social Security Numbers
- Drivers License Numbers
- Passport and VISA Numbers
- Credit Card Numbers (for non-UMBC credit cards)
- Financial Account Numbers (for Financial Accounts Outside of UMBC)
...
The first step in understanding which devices can be used with which data is to understand the classification of the information you need to use with the device.
