# DASF-R-1.2 — Missing data classification

Source: [official compendium, AI Lifecycle Risks, row 4](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lD5nKC1QNoUTDXdMp31NA9eKcUYGjhtC34MCfQpqpGo/edit#gid=307775890&range=A4:AE4). Snapshot: 2026-10-22; source revision: DASF v 1.0.

## Risk mechanism

Data classification is critical for data governance, enabling organizations to effectively sort and categorize data by sensitivity, importance and criticality. As data volumes grow exponentially, prioritizing sensitive information protection, risk reduction and data quality becomes imperative. Classification facilitates the implementation of appropriate security measures and governance policies by evaluating data’s risk and value. A robust classification strategy strengthens data governance, mitigates risks, and ensures data integrity and security on a scalable level.

## Applicability

[Predictive ML Models](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/deployments/predictive-ml.md) · [RAG - LLMs](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/deployments/rag.md) · [Fine-tuned LLMs](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/deployments/fine-tuned-llm.md) · [Pre-trained LLMs](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/deployments/pre-trained-llm.md)

Blank source cells remain null (unspecified); a source “No” means this default filter omits the risk; it does not establish absence in your architecture. Combine every deployment pattern in the system.

## Impacts described by the source

**AI system:**

• Data Breach
• Breach of Legal Obligations
• Breach of Regulatory Obligations
• Regulatory non-compliance
• Loss of Data Integrity

**Business:**

• Financial Loss
• Customer Retention
• Legal fines
• Regulatory Fines and Judgement

## Controls

- [DASF-6](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/controls/6.md) — Classify data

## Source control guidance

• DASF 6: Classify data with tags as it is ingested into the platform aligning with the organization’s governance requirements

## Investigate and verify

Project adaptation: use the [evidence workflow](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/methodology.md), then request **investigate_risk** with **DASF-R-1.2**. It returns the mechanism above, control-specific evidence requests, proposed tests and remediation acceptance criteria. Until evidence is supplied, the result is **unverified**. Use [the finding template](https://mathborgess.github.io/ai-security-wiki/wiki/templates/finding.md) to record a concrete observation and residual risk.
