and review the Information Type column (column A). When clicking on any field in the Priority One column (column B), the Priority Two column (column C), or the Priority Three column (column D), a drop down menu is accessible via the downward arrow toward the right of each field box.

You were introduced to three security attributes this week: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. For each data field in column A, select the most important (Priority One), second most important (Priority Two), and least important (Priority Three) security attribute by using the drop down menu.

As an example, for a social security number, is the first priority to keep the number confidential (i.e., confidentiality), guarded from modifications (i.e., integrity), or available in a digital format (i.e., availability)? What about the second priority and third priority? If you feel all three attributes are equally important, select "Same Level of Importance" for all three priorities.

The Comment column (column E) must be used to justify your selections. Note that the justification you provide is based on your personal experience, values and perspective. The exercise is not graded based on "right or wrong" answers, but your complete and thoughtful justification.

Assignment Grading Rubric	Points	%

Justification for your selections (column E)	35	70%
