The risks associated with the misuse or improper disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) include identity theft, fraud, financial loss, reputational damage, and legal implications. Unauthorized access to PII can lead to privacy breaches and compromise the individual's sensitive information. Protecting PII through secure practices and compliance with data protection regulations is essential to mitigate these risks.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is not classified information in the same way that national security-related data is classified. However, PII is sensitive and must be protected to prevent identity theft, privacy violations, and other risks. Organizations often have regulations, such as GDPR or HIPAA, that govern the handling of PII, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding this information. While not classified, unauthorized access or disclosure of PII can have serious legal and ethical implications.

These include situations where the disclosure is necessary for law enforcement, national security, or public safety. Other exceptions pertain to legal proceedings, compliance with other laws, and situations involving health or safety emergencies.
