_____ involves classifying information that needs protection. Classified information is marked on top and bottom of each page (Eg. CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, or TOP SECRET).

• A. Information Security (INFOsec)
• B. Information Classification
• C. Data Labeling
• D. Security Classification

Answer: (A)

This describes Information Classification, the process of deciding how sensitive information is and what level of protection it needs, then marking documents with labels like CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, or TOP SECRET. This labeling tells people how to handle the information and who may access it. Information Security is broader, covering all ways to protect information (policies, access controls, encryption, incident response), not just labeling. Data Labeling is a general term for tagging data, not specifically about protection levels. Security Classification is often used interchangeably with Information Classification, but the description most directly matches Information Classification.
