Supports the centralized fiscal operations performed by designated entity(s) on behalf of the organization. The overall accountability rating for this information classification is Low.
Confidentiality level = Moderate
The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of centralized fiscal operations information on the fiscal operations of the organization. The effects of loss of confidentiality can reasonably be expected to jeopardize relationships and administrative actions necessary to mission fulfillment and/or to seriously damage public confidence in the organization. For example, the unauthorized disclosure of investigative and enforcement information can have serious economic impact on both individual companies and the broader market place (e.g., short-term stock market perturbations). The consequences of such unauthorized disclosures may have a serious adverse effect on public confidence in the organization.
Known mitigating factors toward changing the confidentiality level
Where the operations in question involve trade secret information, the consequences of unauthorized disclosure can imperil operations critical to the protection of key organizational assets. For those operations, the consequences to key financial infrastructure elements can be serious to severe. In such cases, the associated confidentiality impact level will 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. Unauthorized modification or destruction of information affecting external communications that include fiscal operations information (e.g., web pages, electronic mail) may adversely affect operations and/or public confidence in the organization, but the damage to the mission would usually be limited.
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 centralized fiscal operations information. Centralilzed fiscal operations processes are usually tolerant of delays.
