Scope:

This proposed standard aims to specify minimum requirements for the data protection of all digital assets at-rest, in-motion, and in-use across platforms (e.g., endpoints, mobile, cloud), facilitating secure sharing and collaboration across different IT systems within and between organizations.

Project need:

The data protection market is driven by growth of enormous amount of data, proliferation of devices, need for data security and privacy, new regulations and rising concerns of critical data loss in the on-premises environment. There is a growing need to protect confidential and sensitive data of these critical sectors, relating to government, prime contractors, suppliers, personally identifiable information, client trade secrets, details on mergers and acquisitions, media assets, designs, Intellectual Property, which if it falls in the wrong hands can be detrimental to the organization.
