Stanford Data Classification

Stanford University is committed to protecting its information resources from accidental or intentional intrusion or damage and is equally committed to preserving and nurturing the open, information-sharing requirements of its academic culture.

Supporting an open, information-sharing environment is driven by the academic mission which requires the ability to share information and ideas and to collaborate on the creation of knowledge. Protecting information assets is driven by a variety of considerations including legal, academic, financial and other business requirements.
