Just as credit ratings and FICO scores aim to provide a quantitative measure of credit risk, security ratings aim to provide a quantitative measure of cyber risk.
Data classification is the process of organizing structured and unstructured data into categories, so it can be used and secured more efficiently. It makes data easier to locate and retrieve while facilitating better risk management, legal discovery, and regulatory compliance.
