C.2.8.3 - Executive functions

Subject to exception conditions described below, the recommended provisional security categorization for the executive information type is as follows:.

Security category

C.2.8.3 - Executive functions = {(confidentiality, Low), (integrity, Low), (availability, Low)}

Confidentiality Low

The confidentiality impact level associated with the executive information type is associated with executive functions. The effects of loss of confidentiality of policies and guidance during the formative stage can result in attempts by affected entities and other interested parties to influence and/or impede the policy and guidance development process. Premature public release of formative policies and guidance before internal coordination and review can result in unnecessary damage to public confidence in the executive office. These consequences may occur when the release includes unedited internal commentary and discussion. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for executive functions information is low.

Integrity Low

The integrity impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to detect the modification or destruction of information. Unauthorized modification or destruction of information affecting external communications that contain executive information (e.g., web pages, electronic mail) may adversely affect public confidence in the government. Recommended Integrity Impact Level: The provisional integrity impact level recommended for executive information is low.

Availability Low

The availability impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to re-establish access to the executive information. Recommended Availability Impact Level: The provisional availability impact level recommended for executive functions information is low.
