Information classification
Information classification is used to describe and evaluate the information that will be processed during the research. Processing can involve everything from collecting to processing, analysing, sharing, publishing or deleting information. The purpose is to identify how valuable the information and data in the project are and to find the right level of protection.

Protecting information – Think security!
Once you know the protection value of the information processing, you can start planning information and data management in the project and adapt the protection. The protection value determines, for example, which collection tools and storage locations can be used and other security measures required to protect the information. This can involve both technical solutions and organisational procedures.
Match the protection value of information with the level of protection that different IT solutions can offer.

Risk and vulnerability analysis
When planning how to manage information and data within the project, you should conduct a risk and vulnerability analysis. The risk analysis describes likely threats and vulnerabilities linked to your information processing and how these risks should be managed in the project.
