Key concepts used to determine the classification level of material include sensitivity of information, potential impact of disclosure, legal requirements, and organizational policies. Factors such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information also play a role in classification decisions. Classification levels typically range from public or unclassified to confidential, secret, and top secret.
