Information or data that are classified as ______ do not require labeling.
A . Public
B . Internal
C . Confidential
D . Highly Confidential

Answer: A

Explanation:

Information or data that are classified as public do not require labeling. Public information or data are those that are intended for general disclosure and have no impact on the organization’s operations or reputation if disclosed. Labeling is a method of implementing classification, which is a process of structuring information according to its sensitivity and value for the organization. Labeling helps to identify the level of protection and handling required for each type of information. Information or data that are classified as internal, confidential, or highly confidential require labeling, as they contain information that is not suitable for public disclosure and may cause harm or loss to the organization if disclosed.
