Classification levels such as confidential and secret are tied to which data classification scheme?

A. ISO 17799

B. U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)

D. Commercial Data Classification Standard (CDCS)

Solution

B. The U.S. Department of Defense data classification standard classifies data as unclassified, sensitive, confidential, secret, and top secret. Answer A is incorrect because ISO 17799 is an international security standard policy. Answer C is incorrect because RFC 2196 is the site security handbook and does not address data-classification standards. Answer D is incorrect because there is no CDCS standard.
