An expert-built SAP data classification standard – classify every SAP data element by sensitivity and apply the right protection at each level.
Protecting SAP data starts with knowing how sensitive it is. Without a consistent classification scheme, teams guess – over-protecting routine data, under-protecting regulated data, and struggling to prove to auditors that personal and financial data is handled correctly.
This standard operationalizes your data governance policy into four clear levels – Public, Internal, Confidential, and Restricted – with testable assignment criteria, SAP data-domain defaults, a personal-data model (PI, PII, special-category), and a complete handling matrix specifying the minimum controls at each level.
What this replaces
- A senior SAP security or data-governance consultant building an equivalent classification standard: typically weeks of effort.
- Generic data-classification templates: not mapped to SAP data domains, personal-data categories, or SAP protection controls.
What you get
- A configurable Microsoft Word standard – fully editable, professionally formatted, and ready to adopt:
- Complete scheme – four classification levels, assignment criteria, the personal-data model, SAP data-domain defaults, and the full handling-requirements matrix.
- Built to customize – bracketed placeholders (review cycle, domain owners) adapt it to your organization.
- Framework alignment – mapped to NIST SP 800-60 / FIPS 199 and SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, and GDPR.
- Directly implementable – ties to the SAP Data Governance & Management Policy, the Tier-Based Control Standard, and SAP masking, RAL, and encryption controls.
