Hello.
In the following tips, we’ll discuss factors to keep in mind when securely managing the information we work with every day.
To that end, the first step is to recognize that not all information has the same value.
A news article published on the corporate website does not require the same level of protection as customer data, a financial report, or employee information.
That is why it is important to understand the sensitivity level of the information we work with.
Therefore, we must handle the information we manage according to its classification, following corporate guidelines that will help us identify the level of protection required for each document or piece of data.
Understanding this classification is essential for handling the information correctly.
Before:
- use,
- share,
- publish,
- store
- or enter information into artificial intelligence tools,
Be sure to check its rating.
Its classification will determine how it should be protected and how we can use it.
And if you have any questions about how to categorize it, check the internal guidelines or ask the department in charge.
Remember: Protecting information starts with knowing its classification.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If, despite complying with all these measures, you encounter situations that do not conform to the level of security required or established in internal policies, do not hesitate to inform your line manager, the Security Manager, security personnel and/or the IT department, depending on the type of suspicion.
If it happens to you on a personal level, report it directly to the police authorities, so that they can give you appropriate advice and conduct an investigation.
