Classifications

Where to find it in ISOPlanner: https://portal.isoplanner.app/admin/settings/classifications

Here you can list your classification. The list is initially defined with some common classifications. Classifications are grouped and you can create, edit and remove groups. Each classification group is a topic for which you want to add classifications, like ‘Confidentiality’ or ‘Environment’.

Within each group, you may identify levels, such as ‘Internal’ and ‘Sensitive’ for the ‘Confidentiality’ group.

Classification groups defined here will also be available in the ‘Risk analysis’ part of every risk, with check-boxes to indicate that the risk is related to that topic (Classification group).

Properties
