Key points of the fact sheet

A four-pronged approach

The DICP matrix breaks down your data security into four independent criteria, each rated on a scale of 0 to 4.

Questions organized by topic

For each dimension, a series of specific questions helps you assign the appropriate level of criticality to your data.

A concrete example

The analysis applied to the Tenacy site illustrates how the same data can be critical on one axis and completely neutral on another (4-4-0-0 matrix).
