Security Classification Guidance Overview

  • Security classification guidance ensures consistent classification decisions across users.
  • The DoD Information Security Program is defined by DoDM 5200.01.
  • DoD Instruction 5200.01 outlines responsibilities for implementing national classified information policy.

Security Classification Guide

  • A Security Classification Guide identifies exact classification, downgrading, and declassification processes.
  • Original Classification Authorities (OCA) must check existing guidelines from Component Headquarters and DoD indices before creating a guide.

Classification Decisions

  • An OCA checks for guidance conflicts early in the classification process.
  • Information must fall within categories specified in Executive Order 13526 to be considered for classification.

Types of Documents

  • Properly Marked Source Documents contain classification guidance in various forms, including memoranda and letters.
  • Security Classification Guides can be treated as both classification and declassification guides when properly identified.

Declassification Guidance

  • Declassification guides must be unclassified and treated as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
  • Security declassification guides are not the sole source of declassification guidance within the DoD.

Classification Process Steps

  • Analyses in the original classification process include determining if information is governmental, evaluating classification eligibility, and assessing potential impacts.
  • Steps include:
    • Government Information (Step 1)
    • Eligibility (Step 2)
    • Impact (Step 3)
    • Designation of Classification Level (Step 4)
    • Duration (Step 5)
    • Guidance on dissemination (Step 6)

Security Classification Guide Sections

  • Section 1 outlines reproduction instructions.
  • Section 2 covers the overall classification effort.
  • Sections 3 through 8 detail performance characteristics, vulnerabilities, hardware components, critical elements, and administrative data.

Documentation and Distribution

  • Properly marked source documents should be distributed to all responsible parties for derivative classification.
  • Complete DD Form 2024 to index and distribute security classification guides effectively.

Key Considerations in Security Classification

  • Focus on sensitive areas like intelligence, military operations, hardware, and foreign relations during guide development.
  • Net National Advantage refers to information valuable to the U.S. directly or indirectly.

Special Notes

  • A formal letter or memorandum may be warranted for a limited scope; comprehensive projects may require a plan or order.
