Asset Classification
| Criteria | Level |
|---|---|
| Confidentiality | 🟨 Medium |
| Integrity | 🟨 Medium |
| Availability | 🟨 Medium |
Criticality score: 🟧 Medium
Rationale:
- Confidentiality is moderate - some experimental data may be sensitive.
- Integrity and availability are important for reproducibility of research and testing.
Responsibilities
| Role | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Development Role (Dev) | Creation, maintenance, and protection of research notes |
| Security Role (Sec) | Ensuring no sensitive PII or credentials are exposed in research |
Security Controls
- Access control and repository permissions
- Versioning and change tracking
- Segregation of sensitive data
- Periodic review of research data for sensitive content
Security Considerations
Main risks include:
- Accidental exposure of sensitive data
- Loss of research context or experiments
- Unauthorized modification
Mitigations:
- Secure repository access
- Version control and backups
- Peer review for sensitive information
