Study Notes

Vendor Interaction

Refer vendors conducting pilot programs to the relevant organizational personnel for data requests.

Protecting Classified Data

Store classified data in a GSA-approved vault or container when not in use.

Classification Basis

Handling and storage of classified data are determined by classification markings and handling caveats.

Unclassified Devices in Classified Environments

Disable any cameras, microphones, and embedded Wi-Fi in laptops before use in classified settings.

Impact of Top Secret Information Disclosure

Disclosure of Top Secret information can cause exceptionally grave damage to national security.

Telework Guidelines

You must obtain your organization's permission before engaging in telework.

Marking of Classified Material

All classified material must be appropriately marked to ensure protection.

Insider Threat Activities

Attempting unauthorized access to sensitive information is considered a reportable insider threat activity.

Indicators of Insider Threats

Removing sensitive information without authorization for telework may indicate a reportable insider threat.

Potential Insider Threat Indicators

Watch for unusual interest in classified information and significant personal stressors, such as the death of a spouse.

It is safest to include benign information, like your favorite movie, on social media profiles.

Apps and Personal Information

Many applications and smart devices gather and share personal data that contribute to your online identity.

Avoid posting photos from work settings that reveal identifiable landmarks.

Best Practices for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

After hours, store CUI in a locked drawer to secure it.

Transmitting CUI Safely

Verify information is CUI, include appropriate markings, and digitally sign emails containing CUI.

Definitions of CUI

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) includes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI).

Examples of CUI

Press release data is not considered Controlled Unclassified Information.

Protecting CUI Guidelines

CUI cannot be stored on any password-protected system indiscriminately.

Good Physical Security Practices

Stop individuals without a badge in secure areas to maintain physical security.

Two-Factor Authentication

Using a Common Access Card and Personal Identification Number constitutes two-factor authentication.

Protecting Access Cards

Store Common Access Cards (CAC) and Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards in shielded sleeves.

Access to Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)

Authorized personnel must confirm an individual's need-to-know before granting SCIF access.

Characteristics of Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI)

SCI access necessitates Top Secret clearance and indoctrination into the SCI program.

Safe Use of Removable Media

Using removable media unsafely in a SCIF may lead to various consequences, excluding damage to the media itself.

Portable Electronic Devices in SCIF

Only government-owned portable electronic devices are allowed in SCIF areas.

Incident Response in SCIF

Opening uncontrolled media, like DVDs, on SCIF computers requires a comprehensive incident response.

Malicious Code Awareness

Recognize and avoid types of malicious code to enhance security measures.
