IEFRA2 — Misses connection to IEF-RA's broader objectives

"8.3.3 Misses connection to IEF-RA's broader objectives
This section should explicitly tie the ""data as a strategic asset"" assumption to the IEF-RA’s overall mission of secure, policy-driven information sharing.
Suggest: ""Data is a valuable and versatile strategic asset that must retain its protection and security policies, regardless of its location within the environment. Unlike traditional security models that protect systems or networks, the IEF-RA enforces data-centric security, ensuring that protection policies travel with the data itself.
Data exists in multiple forms, each with unique security challenges:
● Structured data (e.g., databases, XML, JSON, tabular records) requires fine-grained access controls and policy enforcement to regulate data usage.
● Unstructured data (e.g., reports, emails, PDFs, text documents) often requires classification tagging, encryption, and audit trails to ensure confidentiality and compliance.
● Binary data (e.g., images, audio, video, sensor data) may require digital watermarking, format-specific encryption, and integrity verification to protect against unauthorized modifications or leaks.
● Executable files and machine instructions (e.g., compiled software, scripts, firmware updates) demand code signing, integrity checks, and execution controls to prevent unauthorized or malicious code execution.
Since data moves across systems, organizations, and security domains, IEF-RA ensures that data security is not tied to a specific infrastructure but instead governed by policy enforcement mechanisms such as encryption, metadata tagging, and access controls at the data layer. By applying security policies at the data level, IEF-RA enables trusted, auditable, and dynamic information sharing across mission-critical environments, ensuring compliance with operational security requirements."""
