I was going to continue to use parts of the old version. Especially the "Protect" marking and caveats. As we have set up our system so that this protective marking is visible to staff (especially on the client and HR files)and provides them with a memory aide to be more cautious about the data.

Good points well made, Edith! And I totally agree that for those
organisations who have spent considerable time and effort implementing the
Government's previous protective marking scheme, this must be very
frustrating - (euphemism). 

It also illustrates the importance of placing your own organisation's
requirements at the heart of any information governance strategy, applying
external standards & schemes cautiously and with a clear understanding of
your own organisational circumstances, operating environment etc... A good
example here would be those organisations who virtually cut and pasted TNA
and Moreq standard requirements for electronic records management systems
when creating their EDRM specifications - a bit like going to a supermarket
and buying one of everything.

In an environment such as HP TRIM where the previous security levels were
clear and well defined (in my authority), and used in conjunction with
caveats and groups, it was straightforward.

The introduction of streamlined and seemingly easier security levels is not
a straightforward change. We have already seen some issues with this. And
there is no mapping possible between old and new (indeed that is not
recommended!)

But then of course, it is not compulsory for local government to adopt
unless dealing with Central Governement Agencies.....

Lest you had forgotten (as I had) the new, slimmed-down government security
classifications come into force today. To find out more, go to:

Good to see government adopting KISS principles.
