Question

Company A has a project plan for a new product under development. The product will be one of many released in the coming year. The plan, if disclosed, might give Company A's competition a market advantage. Which ISO 27002 classification level is most likely assigned to this document?

a) Public Documents
b) Proprietary
c) Highly Confidential
d) Top Secret

Answer 1

Company A

The ISO 27002 classification level that is most likely assigned to this document is:

b) Proprietary

Step-by-step explanation:

The ISO 27002 classification levels adopted by commercial organizations are Restricted (top secret is preferred in government circles), Confidential, Internal (or proprietary), and Public. Since the new product is under development, one of many, and most likely known to the project team, the project plan will be classified as Proprietary. Company A designates this document as Proprietary or Internal to show that disclosure of the information to its competitors is not allowed. This level of classification shows that Company A can establish intellectual property rights over the document.
