Data and IT Resource Classification Standard

The UC Berkeley Data Classification Standard is UC Berkeley’s implementation of the UC Systemwide Data Classification Standard. UC BFB IS-3 establishes that Institutional Information and IT Resources must be protected according to their classifications. This Standard is a framework for assessing the adverse impact that loss of confidentiality, integrity or availability of Institutional Information and IT Resources would have upon the Campus. It provides the foundation for establishing security requirements for each classification of data. UC BFB IS-12 establishes Recovery Level (RL) to guide IT Recovery planning and preparation for IT Resources. At UC Berkeley, Recovery Level classification is required for non-research IT Infrastructure and Services to which IS-12 applies.
