Planning & Requirements

1 of 9

Define security requirements, compliance considerations, and scope of attachments needing protection within the agriculture category.

Define the scope of 'Agricultural Attachments' to be secured.

Estimate the total number of attachments within scope.

Identify relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, industry standards).

Select the primary risks associated with unsecured agricultural attachments.

Target completion date for initial implementation.

Determine acceptable data retention period for attachments

Attachment Metadata & Classification

2 of 9

Establish a system for tagging and classifying agricultural attachments (e.g., maps, contracts, sensor data, field reports) based on sensitivity and regulatory requirements.

Attachment Sensitivity Level

Data Categories (e.g., regulated data)

Attachment Type

7 of 9

Ensure adherence to relevant regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, industry-specific data privacy standards) regarding agricultural data and attachments.

Identify Applicable Regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, USDA data privacy rules)

Specify 'Other' Regulations Identified (if applicable)

Data Retention Period (in years) as required by regulations

Date of Last Privacy Policy Review and Update

Summary of Data Subject Rights Implementation (e.g., Right to Access, Right to Erasure)

Consent Management Mechanism in Place?

User Training & Awareness

9 of 9

Provide training to users on secure attachment handling practices and the importance of data security.

Have you reviewed the Agricultural Data Security Policy?

Briefly describe your understanding of the importance of secure attachment handling.

Are you familiar with identifying phishing attempts related to agricultural data?

Which of the following are considered best practices for handling sensitive attachments?

Date of Training Completion
