<p>Information content security can be defined in many ways. The most common

way is to determine the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.</p>

<ul>

<li><p>Confidentiality defines the privacy level of the information

and the importance of its content to critical operations. There may be different

levels of confidentiality, which are defined by the author and the policies

of the system. Information that is not classified as confidential is considered

public.</p></li>

<li><p>Integrity classifies information according to its importance

to operations. At the highest level of integrity, the information should remain

intact at all times, without fragmentation or delays in updates.</p></li>

<li><p>Availability is the most important factor if the information

must be accessible without interruption for operational reasons.</p></li>

</ul>

the elements above, you can introduce additional security features, such as

traceability, access control, authentication, and repudiation.</p>

<p>Any data that is stored in the application <codeph>\private\&lt;SID&gt;\</codeph> folder

can be considered safe, since other applications need the <codeph>AllFiles</codeph> <xref href="GUID-6971B0A2-F79B-4E05-8AF3-BB1FC1932A22.dita">capability</xref> to read
