Organizations should develop and implement procedures for information labeling in alignment with the organization's classification scheme to improve communication and enable automation of information processing and management. Personnel and relevant parties should be informed about labeling procedures. Comprehensive training should be available to ensure accurate labeling and proper handling of information by all personnel.
The ways in which information is classified and classifications marked are defined, markings are easily identifiable and they cover both physical and electronic information and assets. The marking must indicate to what extent the document is to be kept secret and on what basis the secrecy is based. Personnel are instructed on how to make markings.
There are agreed procedures for identifying and marking media that require safe disposal.
