Sharing information responsibly
Traffic Light Protocol (TLP)
dotNET lab uses the Traffic Light Protocol to clarify who you may share information with. The label on a message or document sets that boundary.

No TLP sharing restrictions. Copyright still applies.

The stricter AMBER variant: internal sharing on a need-to-know basis. Excludes clients.
- TLP:AMBER
- Organisation and clients
Only with those who need the information to protect the organisation or its clients.
- TLP:RED
- Recipients only
Do not share further, including with colleagues.
