Classifications Tab

Content classification labels Confluence spaces and pages with a sensitivity level. Labels serve two purposes in Aegis:

  1. Exposure scoring: The “Sensitivity Label” factor reads the classification of the page. A Restricted page contributes more risk than an Internal page with the same access pattern.

Classifications do not change who can access a page, they are metadata labels only.

The Four Classification Levels

LevelLozengeRisk ValueScore ContributionMeaning
PublicGray0.0+0 ptsContent intended for public consumption; no sensitivity
InternalGreen0.3+1.5 ptsFor internal audiences only; not for external distribution
ConfidentialBlue0.7+3.5 ptsSensitive business information; restricted distribution
RestrictedRed1.0+5 ptsHighest sensitivity; access tightly controlled

The score contribution above assumes the Sensitivity Label factor weight is at its default of 5%. Adjusting that weight in the Scoring & SLA tab changes the contribution proportionally.

How Classifications Affect the Exposure Score

The exposure score has six weighted factors. “Sensitivity Label” has a default weight of 5%. The classification’s risk value (0.0–1.0) is multiplied by the factor weight to produce that factor’s contribution.

Example with default weights:

  • Unclassified page: Sensitivity Label contributes 0 points.
  • Confidential (risk value 0.7): contributes 0.7 × 5 = 3.5 points.
  • Restricted (risk value 1.0): contributes 1.0 × 5 = 5.0 points.

Note: A Restricted page that is also publicly accessible, has broad group access, and has open findings can easily score in the Critical range (75+). Classifications amplify the risk of already-exposed pages.
