According to NIST SP 800-60v2r1, intellectual property protection information type may be categorized as low but trade secrets are categorized as: Response:

According to NIST Special Publication 800-60 Volume 2 Revision 1, 'Guide for Mapping Types of Information and Information Systems to Security Categories,' trade secrets are typically categorized as 'Moderate' for confidentiality. The unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets can lead to a significant adverse impact, such as substantial financial loss or a severe competitive disadvantage, thus warranting a moderate confidentiality categorization.

While trade secrets are highly sensitive, NIST SP 800-60v2r1 generally provides a baseline categorization of Moderate for confidentiality, reserving High for impacts causing severe or catastrophic harm.

While integrity is important for trade secrets, the primary and most direct security concern addressed by their definition as 'trade secrets' is typically their confidentiality, not integrity.

While availability is important for all information, the core risk classification for 'trade secrets' as an information type under NIST SP 800-60v2r1 primarily focuses on their confidentiality impact.
