Classifies and labels documents
- Behavior
- Vigilant
- Level 1 · Signal
A vigilant behavior signal from data classification tooling: the person applied sensitivity labels to the documents they create.
Classification
- Risk domain One of 9 areas of human risk, from social engineering to readiness and response. Every signal belongs to one.
- Evidence level
- Maturity practices One capability a program performs, scored on its own: See, Understand, Act, Prove, Govern and Culture.
- Leads to The kind of breach the evidence beneath it points toward, each anchored to a Verizon DBIR or VERIS pattern or an FBI IC3 category.
- NIST CSF 2.0

- ID.AM-07
- MITRE ATT&CK

The definition, in detail
Definition
Labels let DLP and sharing controls act on the file wherever it travels.
Example
A legal associate labels a draft contract "Confidential" when she creates it, so the sharing control blocks a later external link.

How it is used
Programs count "Classifies and labels documents" per person from Data security posture and read it beside the other Data handling signals; it feeds 0 cohorts, 0 sequences and 1 breach scenario.
A "classifies and labels documents" event is evidence of a protective behavior; a vigilant behavior at any step breaks a sequence. It is one event, and it does not cancel the risky signals the same person carries.
