The definition, in detail

Definition

The combination turns a sharing habit into regulated-data exposure.

Example

A benefits analyst with access to the HR data warehouse emailed a spreadsheet of employee records to a personal address.

How it is measured

Formula
DH-B-03 + DH-A-01
Class
High-impact
Difficulty
Hard: at least one signal needs an integration or a survey
Risk domain
Data handling
Sources
Web, CASB & DLP, Data security posture

How it is used

Programs count the people who match DH-B-03 + DH-A-01 at once as a high-impact cohort in Data handling, trend that population, and point the response at it; it feeds 2 breach scenarios.

Membership is evidence that the signals in the formula describe the same person at once. It is a population to act on; on its own it confirms no incident.
