📊 Data Classification & Handling Rules

Public

Information intended for unrestricted public distribution. No access controls required.

Clear Text No Encryption TTL: Indefinite

Internal

Operational data, configurations, and non-sensitive analytics. Accessible to authorized personnel.

TLS 1.3 Transit AES-256 Rest RBAC

Confidential

Customer PII, threat intelligence feeds, security logs. Strict access & audit trails.

Field-Level Enc. MFA Required DLP Active

Restricted

Encryption keys, admin credentials, raw forensic dumps. Zero-knowledge architecture.

HSM Backed Just-In-Time Immutable Audit
