    ​

  • Medium Severity
    Data with medium severity has a serious adverse effect on organizational assets, organizational operations, and individuals if it is disclosed without authorization.
    ​

  • High Severity
    Data with high severity has a severe or catastrophic effect on organizational assets, organizational operations, and individuals if it is disclosed without authorization.
