DATA ASSESSMENT
Data assessment tools help you
identify and fix problem areas in
your data by examining column
content and designing effective jobs.

objectively without interpretation.

No significance beyond its existence

Data is a collection of information


gathered by observations, measurements,
research or analysis. They may consist of
facts, numbers, names, figures or even
description of things .
Businesses and organizations collect many different
types of information, to help quantify their cyber
security risk exposures, companies should first
understand the types of information they are
collecting, storing, and sharing. This information can
range in complexity from a simple inventory of
products to personal information, including private
health and financial records. Personal and customer
information may be subject to federal, state, and
local regulations, payment card industry standards,
or perhaps foreign privacy standards.
While having a data security policy is the
first step to help protect your data, the
next logical step is to inventory all the data
you handle during the course of business.
This can help you classify it based on its
confidentiality to determine who should be
authorized to access it and to determine
the level of data security needed.
