(See also "Agency coverage") |
| Non-National Security Information |
Any official information asset that requires increased protection and does not meet the definition of national security information. Most often this will be information about:
-
Government or agency business, whose compromise could affect the governments capacity to make decisions or operate, the publics confidence in government, the stability of the market place and so on;

| Number of Data Instances (Information Assets) |
The estimated number of instances that form the Information Asset. For example, an electronically-dependent Information Asset may have data stored in multiple tables, such as Customer, Services and Transactions. If the Information Asset to be captured is “Service Transactions”, the estimated number of data instances would equate to the number of data records stored in the Transactions table.
(See also "Data Instance") |
| Number of Instances (Technology Assets) |
Number of instances deployed of either software licenses or physical hardware items, irrespective of whether the environment is a development, test or production environment. The number of instances of a technology hardware asset is typically the number of physical items deployed. The number of instances of software assets is usually the number of licenses deployed. Refer to the Guideline - Reporting Technology Instances for more assistance. |
Number of Users
(in the context of Applications) |
The number of direct users exposed to the Application via its native user interface (not those who access the functionality through an application programming interface or through web services).
It does not equal the number of concurrent users possible.
If the Application's primary purpose is to provide online services, it can be difficult to estimate the number of users. In this case the following indicators may be used: Queensland-wide and Australia-wide. |
Number of Users
(in the context of Technologies) |
The number of users impacted by the Technology. For example, if Microsoft's BizTalk is used to support an Application used by all agency staff, the number of users for BizTalk would equate to the number of staff in the agency. |
