Which of the following are the benefits of information classification for an organization? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

A primary goal of information classification is to categorize data by its sensitivity or criticality to the organization, enabling decision-makers to prioritize security investments where they matter most. Without this identification step, organizations cannot distinguish between data that requires strict controls and data that can be handled with minimal overhead.

Preventing unauthorized modifications is a goal of data integrity and access control mechanisms - not a benefit derived from classification itself.

Information classification typically introduces implementation and maintenance costs; it does not directly reduce the Total Cost of Ownership.

Classification schemes directly map each data category to a corresponding set of protective controls, ensuring that policies, access restrictions, and handling procedures are consistently applied based on the data's assigned classification level.
