Data Classification

Publication date: August 3, 2022 (Document revisions)

Abstract

This paper provides insight into data classification categories for public and private organizations to consider when moving data to the cloud. It outlines an example of a process through which customers can build data classification programs, shares examples of data and the corresponding category it may fall into, and outlines practices and classification models currently implemented by early adopters and organizations migrated to the cloud, along with data classification and privacy considerations. It also examines how implementation of a data classification program can help simplify cloud adoption and management, and recommends that customers use internationally recognized standards and frameworks when developing their own data classification rules.

Are you Well-Architected?

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you understand the pros and cons of the decisions you make when building systems in the cloud. The six pillars of the Framework allow you to learn architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable systems. Using the AWS Well-Architected Tool, available at no charge in the AWS Management Console, you can review your workloads against these best practices by answering a set of questions for each pillar.

For more expert guidance and best practices for your cloud architecture—reference architecture deployments, diagrams, and whitepapers—refer to the AWS Architecture Center.
