It specifiesrequirements for classifying information, including defining how it may be accessed by users, bothinside and outside the organization, that own the information.The intended users of this British Standard include, but are by no means limited to, the following:

The scope of this British Standard addresses information that is in a form that can be understood byhumans and is capable of being shared. Throughout this British Standard such information is referredto as an ‘Information Asset’ regardless of its media or format.NOTE 1 Information Assets can include structured information, unstructured information, text, pictures and audiorecordings, i.e. anything that contains information.NOTE 2 The content of databases do not as easily fit within the marking aspects of this British Standard. However,information in whatever form that is derived from a database and turned into a tangible asset is included withinthis British Standard, as is information that is not originally derived from a database.Cross References:BS 10008:2014BS EN ISO 9000:2015BS EN ISO 9001:2015BS EN ISO 13119:2012BS ISO 15489-1:2016BS ISO 30300:2011BS ISO 30301:2011BS ISO 55000:2014BS ISO/IEC 21000-19:2010BS ISO/IEC 27001:2013BS ISO/IEC 27010:2012BS ISO/IEC 27038:2014BS EN ISO/IEC 27040DD ISO/TS 21547:2010PD ISO/TR 17797:2014PAS 99:2012
