Travel

Supports the activities associated with planning, preparing, and monitoring of business related travel for an organization’s employees. The overall accountability rating for this information classification is Low.

Confidentiality level = Low

The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of travel information on the abilities of responsible entities to plan, prepare, and monitor business related travel for the organization’s employees. Generally, the consequences of unauthorized disclosure of the majority of travel information will result in a limited adverse effect on organizational operations, organizational assets, or individuals.

Known mitigating factors toward changing the confidentiality level

Unauthorized disclosure of employee identification information coupled with credit information (e.g., name, social security number, credit card number) can result in moderate to serious consequences for individuals and local organizations. The various state and international privacy laws Information provisional impact levels are documented in the Personal Identity and Authentication information type. Unauthorized disclosure of information concerning carrier/provider contract negotiations can have significant financial or legal consequences and put an organization at a serious disadvantage. Also, severe consequences may result from unauthorized disclosure of information regarding leadership travel plans that might jeopardize personnel security or the confidentiality of sensitive operations plans. In the most sensitive cases, the confidentiality impact level may be high.

Integrity level = 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 travel information partially depends on the urgency with which the information is normally needed and the consequences of aborted or modified travel. In the case of travel planning information, the effects of such modifications are generally limited with respect to organizational mission capabilities or assets. There may be scenarios in which integrity compromise of travel information may expose organizational leadership to harm or endanger a sensitive or critical operation.

Availability level = Low

The availability impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to reestablish access to the travel information. The nature of travel processes is usually tolerant of reasonable delays, at least on the organization mission scale.
