Implementation Guidance- Information labeling procedures need to cover information in physical and electronic formats and its related assets. The labeling will represent A.8.2.1 defined classification scheme. The labels are to be clearly identifiable. The protocols will provide instructions on where and how labels are applied taking into account whether the information is obtained or the assets are managed based on media forms. The procedures that identify situations where labeling is absent, e.g. non-confidential information labeling to scale back workloads. Employees and contractors should be made aware of the procedures for labeling.
An appropriate classification label should be included in the output from the system containing information classified as sensitive or critical.

A.8.2.3 Handling of Assets

Control- A.8.2.3 Handling of Assets Procedures for the handling of assets in accordance with the organization ‘s information classification scheme should be developed and implemented.

Implementation Guidance- Procedures should be developed for the handling, processing, storing, and communication of classified information.

The following points should be taken into consideration:-

– Access restrictions that support the security standards for each classification level;

– Maintaining a formal record of the approved recipients of the assets;

– Security to a level consistent with the security of the original information for temporary or permanent copies of information;

– IT asset storage as specified by the manufacturer;

– Clear marking for the authorized recipient of all copies of the media.

The scheme for classification used in the organization, even if the classification levels are similar, may not equate to the schemes employed by other organizations; in addition, information moving across organizations can vary according to their contexts, even if their classification schemes are equal.
Accords with other organizations that include sharing information should include methods of classifying that information and interpreting other organizations’ classifications labels.
