During an initial risk assessment, you advise the client to establish a formal data classification policy that specifies handling requirements for public, internal, confidential, and restricted information. Within the standard information security control taxonomy, this recommendation is best categorized as which type of control?
A data classification policy is a written directive created and enforced by management. Policies, standards, and procedures that influence how people act fall under administrative (sometimes called managerial) controls. Technical controls rely on technology (firewalls, encryption), physical controls protect the environment (locks, guards), and corrective controls attempt to restore systems after an incident. Because the recommendation concerns governance rather than technology or physical safeguards, it is an administrative control.
