At Midwest Insurance, all information is classified. What is the goal of this classification of information?

Question

Options

• ATo create a manual about how to handle mobile devices
• BApplying labels making the information easier to recognize
• CStructuring information according to its sensitivity

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  14% (4)
• C
  79% (22)

Explanation

Classifying information at an organization like Midwest Insurance aims to structure data according to its sensitivity (C), so that appropriate protections, access controls, and handling procedures can be applied based on how critical or confidential the information is. Option A is wrong because a mobile device manual is a specific policy document, not the purpose of classification itself. Option B describes a result or mechanism of classification (labeling), not its goal - labels are a tool used to achieve classification, not the reason for it.

Memory tip: Think of classification like triage in a hospital - the goal is to prioritize and protect based on severity/sensitivity, not simply to put color-coded stickers on things.
