Unauthorized Disclosure (UD) Overview
- Unauthorized disclosure refers to the transfer or communication of classified or controlled unclassified information (CUI) to unauthorized individuals.
- Types of unauthorized disclosure include data spills and espionage.
Types of Unauthorized Disclosure
- Data Spill: Occurs when classified information is transmitted across unauthorized networks.
- Espionage: Involves selling classified information to foreign intelligence entities.
Classification and Markings

- Proper marking of classified data is crucial, including authorization levels and dissemination controls.
- Derivative classification involves marking new material based on existing classified sources.
Security Measures and Agreements
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are effective for the individual's lifetime.
- Classified information must be reviewed by the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR) before public release.
Whistleblower Protections

- DoD Whistleblower statutes protect individuals reporting misconduct but do not cover those who disclose classified information to the media.
Reporting Procedures

- If classified information is found unsecured, it is imperative to secure it in an approved security container.
Responsibilities and Consequences
- Security managers and facility security officers (FSO) oversee compliance but are not responsible for sanctioning.
- Ignoring protection requirements on social media leads to the same consequences as other media.
Public Affairs and Prepublication Review

- Whistleblowing differs from reporting unauthorized disclosures as they follow different procedures.
Classified Information Handling
- Individuals accessing classified information must have a favorable eligibility determination, a need-to-know, and an NDA in place.
