🎯 Purpose Statement

Hack23 AB's classification framework demonstrates how systematic impact analysis directly enables both security excellence and business decision-making. Our comprehensive classification system serves as both operational framework and client demonstration of our cybersecurity consulting methodologies.

This document outlines the classification framework and business impact analysis matrix for Hack23, focusing on security, compliance, and business continuity. It provides a structured approach to assess the impact of incidents across various dimensions including confidentiality, integrity, availability, recovery time objective (RTO), and recovery point objective (RPO).

Our transparent classification approach showcases how methodical risk assessment and impact analysis create competitive advantages through informed decision-making and systematic security implementation. Under Hack23 AB's AI-augmented operating model, classification is applied at scale by the documentation and risk-assessment specialist agents — every new asset, supplier, risk entry, or repository receives a CIA / RTO / RPO / Privacy badge proposal during PR review, with the CEO making the final classification decision (the agents cannot promote/demote a classification without merge approval).
