C.3.4.3 - Logistics management
Logistics management involves the planning and tracking of personnel and their resources in relation to their availability and location.
The recommended security categorization for the logistics management information type is as follows:
Security category
Confidentiality Low
The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of logistics management information on the ability of agencies to plan and track the availability and location of personnel and their resources. The consequences of unauthorized disclosure of most logistics management information are likely to have only limited adverse effects on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Special Factors Affecting Confidentiality Impact Determination: Unauthorized disclosure of logistics information associated with homeland security, law enforcement and some transportation activities (e.g., air transport) can facilitate terrorist or other criminal activities that may result in serious on Federal government assets and operations and on the general public. Logistics management information associated with a broad range of mission areas can be of material use to criminals seeking to perpetrate fraud, theft, or other criminal enterprises. Also, this information is a key intelligence target for those seeking information on defense or law enforcement capabilities, dispositions and intent. In all these cases, the unauthorized disclosure of logistics management information may result in serious adverse effects on agency operations, agency assets, and individuals. Therefore, the confidentiality impact level for these types of criminal 88 exploitation of unauthorized disclosure of logistics management information will range from moderate to high. Some logistics management information is classified (e.g., some military logistics information). The classified information is national security related and is outside the scope of this guideline. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for most logistics management 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. The consequences of unauthorized modification or destruction of logistics management information usually depends on the urgency with which the information is needed or the immediacy with which the information is used. In most cases, the information will not be needed urgently or acted upon immediately. Unauthorized modification or destruction of information affecting external publication of logistics management information (e.g., web pages, electronic mail) may adversely affect public confidence in the agency. However, damage to the mission would usually be limited. Recommended Integrity Impact Level: The provisional integrity impact level recommended for logistics management 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 logistics management information. Functions and processes supported by most logistics management information are tolerant of delays i.e., the data supporting the functions/processes are not time-critical. Typically, disruption of access to logistics management information will have a limited adverse effect on agency operations (including mission functions and public confidence in the agency), agency assets, or individuals. Special Factors Affecting Availability Impact Determination: Exceptions may include emergency requirements to deploy personnel and their resources to support disaster management. In such cases, delays may cost lives and major property damage. Consequently, the impact level for logistics management information needed to respond to emergencies will be high. Recommended Availability Impact Level: The availability impact level recommended for logistics management information is low
