The classification says who may see an asset at all. The sensitivity tags say why it is sensitive, and so which checks apply.

The rules behind them

Customer information is protected by Banking secrecy under the Financial Services Act 2013 and by the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). Classification and tags are how the platform applies those rules without every member of staff having to interpret them.

If you think an asset is classified wrongly, raise it with the data owner. Classification changes are decided by the Data Governance Committee, not on the platform.
