Level Classification Typical Data Types Impact
Level 1 Public Company websites and public profiles; product brochures, leaflets, and catalogs; publicly announced product features; published customer user guides; logos and brand identity assets; public privacy policies and terms; announced events and launch schedules; marketing demos containing no real customer data. Information approved for public release. Copying, sharing, or disclosure would have no or almost no impact on the Company, customers, or data subjects.
Level 2 Internal Internal procedures, SOPs, and operating guides; work plans and project timelines; organizational structures and department charts; internal staff directories; training plans and onboarding materials; progress reports and internal OKRs/KPIs. Information for routine internal operations that should not be disclosed externally without authorization. A leak may have a minor to moderate impact on management, coordination, or the Company's image.
Level 3 Confidential Basic personal data; customer/partner data and contracts; transaction data, login logs, audit trails, authentication and digital signing histories, API integrations, and support tickets containing customer information; confidential business documents; SSO information, identity data transmitted via APIs, ShareInfo/electronic authentication records, admin portal access logs, user exports, and error screenshots containing account information. Information requiring strict protection. Unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss may cause significant harm to the Company, customers, partners, or data subjects.
Level 4 Highly Confidential/Highly Sensitive Sensitive personal data such as biometrics, eKYC, high-assurance electronic identity verification, real-time location, and personal financial information; core system security/technical secrets such as digital signing keys/private keys, secrets in federation configurations, production database exports, authentication system penetration test results, network security configurations, HSM keys, production infrastructure diagrams, unencrypted backups containing real data, and privileged accounts. This is the highest protection level. Disclosure, loss, unauthorized access, or alteration may cause severe harm, privacy violations, legal risks, affect system safety, or enable fraud, impersonation, or account takeover. This category includes sensitive personal data under the law and critical system security or business secrets.
