What's inside
- 01~4 minWhy this matters (and isn't a 40-page policy)Data classification gets a bad reputation as a paperwork exercise. The reality is simpler: four buckets, knowing which bucket your data is in, and where each bucket is allowed to go. That's the whole thing.
- 02~4 minRecognizing what you're holdingThe hardest part of classification is recognizing which level applies. Real examples, the special categories that always escalate, and a decision tree.
- 03~4 minWhere each level is allowed to goClassification is only useful if you know what destinations are approved for each level. A clear table, plus the destinations everyone gets wrong.
- 04~4 minSharing safely — links, permissions, and the email-versus-link choiceThe mechanics of sharing matter as much as the destination. Link sharing, attachment sharing, expiration, and the patterns that prevent leaks.
- 05~4 minWhen data ends up in the wrong placeMistakes happen. The wrong email, the wrong attachment, the wrong sharing setting. What to do in the first hour determines whether it's an annoyance or an incident.
- 06~5 minThe weekly decisions and a recapReal-life data decisions you'll face this week. A quick reference guide, then the course recap.
