Study Notes

Derivative Classification Overview

"Revealed by" includes classified info that is implied but not explicitly stated, requires additional interpretation, and comes from an authorized source.
Info cannot be classified to restrain competition, conceal legal violations, or prevent embarrassment.

Responsibilities of Derivative Classifiers

Derivative classifiers must grasp classification procedures.
They do not require original classification authority.

Sharing information across government levels and with partners is essential, but automatically declassifying shared info is not a promoted method.

Consequences for Unauthorized Disclosure

Military personnel leaking classified info could face incarceration, dishonorable discharge, and loss of pay.

Steps in Derivative Classification

A vital step involves determining if information needs protection for national security.
Classification by Compilation occurs when non-classified pieces together make new material classified.

Procedures and Resources

Initiating an informal challenge is the first step if there’s suspicion of improper classification.
Consult the Security Manager or FSO for additional guidance if authorized sources are insufficient.
Security Classification Guides (SCG) detail specific classification info.

Regulatory Framework

The DODM 5200.01 outlines derivative classification requirements for DOD personnel.
