An organization is evaluating its information security policies and implementing an asset classification system. Which of the following types of information is best categorized as a sensitive asset?
Data about the organization's history that is published.
Company-wide announcements accessible to employees.
Marketing materials that promote the brand.
Employee salary information that is handled with confidentiality measures.
Sensitive assets are pieces of information that should be subject to specific handling and protection requirements due to their potential impact if disclosed. Employee salary information typically falls under this category, as it involves personal data that must be safeguarded. In contrast, company-wide announcements, marketing materials, and published historical data are generally not considered sensitive because they do not require the same level of confidentiality or protection.
