More than one data type

If you find that the information you are working with contains more than one data type, always follow the instructions for the highest level of your information.

Level 1

Level 1 - Data and information that is not confidential and where accidental sharing does not harm the university. 

Level 2

Level 2 - Data and information that is highly confidential and where accidental sharing or loss could cause serious damage to the university.

Level 3

Level 3 - Data and information that is highly confidential and where accidental sharing or loss could cause serious damage to the university

Especially for level 3 data:

  • Please note that the information in this classification is of some importance to AAU and must therefore not be lost. For this reason, regular backups must be made. 
  • Information in this classification must also be inaccessible to unauthorised persons, which is why network security requirements must be set up for the system in which the data processing takes place. Network security can be ensured by requiring connection to AAU's network, e.g. via VPN, for access to information. 

Level 4

Level 4 - Data and information where accidental sharing, loss or manipulation could have catastrophic consequences for the university and/or major consequences for society.

Especially for level 4 data: 

  • Please note that information in this classification must not be disclosed or altered under any circumstances and is therefore subject to the strictest security regulations.  
    Therefore, IT Security must always be contacted before data processing can commence.
