Data Classification Template
Classify your business data by sensitivity and criticality to prioritise backup frequency, security controls, and retention periods.
About This Resource
Not all data requires the same level of protection, and treating everything equally leads to either overspending or under-protecting critical information. This template helps UK businesses classify their data by sensitivity and business criticality, enabling appropriate backup frequency, security controls, and retention policies for each classification tier. It aligns with UK GDPR principles and provides a practical framework that scales with your organisation.
What's Included
- Data classification tier definitions with real-world examples
- Sensitivity and criticality scoring methodology
- Backup frequency and retention mapping per classification tier
- Security control requirements by data classification level
- Data ownership and stewardship assignment framework
Who Is This For?
Data protection officers, IT managers, and compliance teams at UK businesses who need to implement a structured data classification scheme for backup prioritisation and security compliance.
