Study Notes
Derivative Classification Overview
- Contractors must receive proper classification guidance from authorized sources during contract performance.
- Information may become classified through the aggregation of unclassified pieces; this is known as Classification by Compilation.
Security Classification Guides (SCG)
- SCGs are the primary sources for derivative classification and should guide classifiers in marking new documents.
- Derivative classification includes reusing classified information to create new documents, requiring careful marking.
Classification Concepts
- "Revealed by" indicates additional interpretation is needed to deduce classification levels.
- "Contained in" does not apply when unclassified data aggregation causes classification.
- The classification process does not allow for embarrassment of the U.S. Government as a sole reason for classification.
Responsibilities and Guidance
- Contractors bear responsibility for ensuring new documents are marked accurately based on classification guidance.
- In situations of conflicting guidance, seek clarification to ensure accurate classification.
Criminal Sanctions and Compliance
- Unauthorized disclosure of classified information can lead to severe consequences, including fines, incarceration, and loss of federal benefits.
- Negligence in protecting classified materials is subject to sanctions regardless of intent.
Document Marking and Concepts
- Derivative classification is used when creating new documents from classified sources.
- Each new document must reflect the classification level of the source to maintain security protocols.
Importance of Derivative Classification
- Protecting national security is the primary aim of proper derivative classification practices.
Best Practices
- Analyze and evaluate information to identify classification needs; have access to classification guidance.
- The first step in classification is determining the appropriate classification level using existing guidance.
- Paraphrasing existing classified documents requires understanding and careful handling to ensure compliance.
Misconceptions
- Information concerning failed scientific research does not justify classification if it only causes embarrassment without harming national security.
- Criminal sanctions can be applied broadly for violations in handling classified information; all aspects of derivative classification are critical to maintain security.
Steps and Exceptions
- Steps in derivative classification include determining the classification level and marking new documents rather than making recommendations for others.
- Not all document uses qualify as derivative classification; understand the distinctions to ensure compliance with classification protocols.
