🏷️ Hack23 Classification & Business Continuity Framework

This document outlines the classification framework and business impact analysis matrix for Hack23, focusing on security, compliance, and business continuity. It provides a structured approach to assess the impact of incidents across various dimensions including confidentiality, integrity, availability, recovery time objective (RTO), and recovery point objective (RPO).
