Documentation confidentiality level policy

["Claudine CHAUSSON" <claudine -dot- chausson -at- jwaretechnologies -dot- com>]

Hi everyone,

I was asked this morning to think about how we can classify documents
according to their confidentiality level. I've never worked in a really
confidential environment: documents were either for internal use or customer
use. I guess this could translate into confidential and public but it
doesn't sound that simple. 

I now work in the electronic banking field (micro chip payment cards) and
most information is pretty confidential. So I was thinking about the
following levels of confidentiality:
	- public: available to anyone who requests the document.
	- restricted: to customers or prospects.
	- confidential: available to customers only after they have signed a
NDA (non disclosure agreement).
	- internal: internal use only.

What's your opinion on this matter? Do you apply a confidentiality policy on
the documents you produce? Could you roughly describe the policy you apply?

This is due on Friday so any help from you will be greatly appreciated.
