Supports the service support activities associated with costs of the legal department. The overall accountability rating for this information classification is Low.
Confidentiality level = Low
The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of legal functions information on the ability of responsible agencies to provide service support activities associated with legal costs. The effects of loss of confidentiality of information associated with legal functions can be expected to have only a limited impact on organizational assets, operations, or personnel welfare.
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. Misunderstandings resulting from modified information that is actually exchanged can usually be resolved and any resulting damage to the support function from modified information that is exchanged would usually be limited. Unauthorized modification or destruction of information affecting external publication of legal service support information (e.g., web pages, electronic mail) may adversely affect inter-organizational relationships, relations with third parties, or public confidence in the organization. However, 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 legal service support information. Legal functions processes are usually tolerant of delays.
Known mitigating factors toward changing the availability level
Excessive recovery delays can result in damage to organizational reputation and to interests associated with specific legal actions. This can result in assignment of a moderate impact level to such information.
