HSE National Information Classification and Handling Policy


Topic: Information management
Document Owner: National Director of Public Involvement, Culture and Risk Management
National Group: HSE National Records Management Steering Group
Effective From: 05/04/2027
This national policy (“the policy”) provides guidance on the HSE National Information Classification and Handling Policy which fits within HSE information security programme and complements HSE’s data management and records management programmes.

This policy has been developed to assist the HSE in applying a degree of sensitivity and criticality to all the information created, collected, processed and disseminated within the organisation. The classification assigned places controls relating to the type of information and its need to remain confidential and secure.
