Align security and access classifications

Security and access controls on records can be assigned as a property of the BCS classification. In effect, security and access controls are mapped to the business classifications. As access and security status can alter over time, these will need to be monitored and the classification tool amended accordingly.

For an outline of the recommended NTG security model please refer to Records Management Advice number 9 - Recommended records security model.

TRM allows the setting-up of default security and access controls on each BCS class. Careful planning is required when setting-up the implementation of security. Inheritance of security and access controls from the BCS classification upon creation of the record may not be a valid approach (however it is an available option).
