In order to indicate the level of safeguarding assets require, organizations should consider identifying and categorizing them for availability and integrity purposes. This could include, among other things, protecting competition sensitive information or customer information.

CST can help you identify and categorize assets, especially critical services, based on the degree of injury (low, medium, high) that could be expected to result from compromise to their availability or integrity. We can also help you consider the value of assets in determining injury. By doing this, CST can then help your organization can put procedures in place to ensure that only those who require the assets have access to them, such as an information assurance startup plan or provide tips on safeguarding customer information and develop policies in the event that someone without access acquires them.
