Classifications and Compartments

The sample file has the following four classifications:

• PUBLIC

• INTERNAL_USE_ONLY

• NEED_TO_KNOW

• REGISTERED

In this model, PUBLIC is the sensitivity label for communications across the Internet. INTERNAL_USE_ONLY is the sensitivity label for communications within the company.

The sample file defines compartments to appear only in labels that have the NEED_TO_KNOW classification. The sample file also specifies that the default word Comps is changed to the word Departments in label-builder GUIs.

NEED_TO_KNOW compartments are:

• ALL_DEPARTMENTS

  The ALL_DEPARTMENTS compartment word gets turned on when all defined compartment bits are on and works as a toggle in a label builder.

• EXECUTIVE_MGT_GROUP

• SALES

• FINANCE

• LEGAL

• MARKETING

• HUMAN_RESOURCES

• ENGINEERING

• MANUFACTURING

• SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATION

• PROJECT_TEAM

  PROJECT_TEAM is hierarchically below both ENGINEERING and MARKETING. The hierarchy enables a user who is working at NEED_TO_KNOW ENGINEERING or at NEED_TO_KNOW MARKETING to read files with the NEED_TO_KNOW PROJECT_TEAM label. The user cannot write to files that have that label.
