Sharing at the right level

OciDeck helps decide which slides are suitable for which audience, with TLP classification as a practical aid.

Presentations are often reused for more than one audience. An internal working session, a management summary, a training and a public publication can all start from the same source material. Still, not every slide is meant for every audience.

OciDeck helps with sharing at the right level. A deck and individual slides can record how widely information may be shared. This makes it clear which parts can be shared broadly, which are internal, and which belong in a limited group.

What does TLP mean?

TLP stands for Traffic Light Protocol. It is an internationally used colour system for indicating how confidential information is and who may receive it. The colours work like a traffic light for sharing: clear is public, green can be shared within a broader community, amber asks for restriction, and red is strongly restricted.

Users do not need to know the acronym to understand the principle. The practical question is: who is allowed to see this information?

What does OciDeck do with it?

OciDeck can assign a general level to a deck and a separate level to each slide. When presenting or exporting for a specific audience, OciDeck can leave out slides that are too sensitive for that purpose.

This matters because presentations are often reused. A slide that is suitable for an internal incident meeting may be unsuitable for an external training. A technical appendix may be useful for researchers, but too sensitive for a broad PDF export. By making the sharing level explicit, the choice depends less on memory and manual checking.

Why is this useful?

In many presentation tools, confidentiality is mostly handled outside the presentation: a filename, a note in an email, or a label on the first slide. OciDeck treats it as part of the content and export logic.

That enables OciDeck to leave out slides that do not fit the chosen audience, block export when required classification is missing, use visible markings where helpful, carry metadata into export formats, and reuse one source presentation for different audiences without manually cleaning up copies every time.
