Why TLP should not replace your internal information classification
The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) is a standard for communicating whether information may be shared further, but it was designed to specify recipients rather than define information handling or encryption rules. Organizations that attempt to replace internal classification schemes with TLP labels risk misalignment between the labels' actual definitions and their intended meanings, potentially leading to unintended sharing or compliance confusion. TLP should complement rather than replace an organization's own information classification framework.
Why it matters: Security teams and information governance leaders need to maintain separate internal classification schemes because TLP labels define sharing permissions with external parties, not internal data protection requirements like encryption or access controls.
