Security Debrief ALEX – Alternative Experts, LLC 8390 W. Main Street, Suite B Marshall, VA 20115 ALEXinc.com Facility Security Officer (FSO): Maria Gordon 703-547-1662 [email protected] Introduction You are here for a security debriefing. This debriefing is required by government regulation and stipulated in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), Intelligence Community Directives and specific government customer directives. You are here because it has been determined that you no longer need access to classified information as a part of employment here. The main purpose of this debriefing is to remind you of your continuing responsibilities concerning the protection of classified government information which was entrusted to you while you were in access. The Non-Disclosure Agreement When you were briefed for access you signed a Non- Disclosure Agreement (NDA). The NDA is a legal and binding contract between you and the U.S. government whereby you agreed to protect any and all classified national security information to which you have had access for LIFE! Be advised that although you are now being removed from access to classified material (either totally or for a specific program) this contract remains in full force and effect. As a reminder we are going to briefly review each paragraph of the NDA. You are welcome to read it in its entirety and may have a copy made for you if you so desire. The Non-Disclosure Agreement By previously signing the NDA… In Paragraph 1 you accepted the obligation to protect the information that you had access to. Specifically, sensitive compartmented information (SCI) for Form 4414 and DoD/collateral classified information for the Standard Form (SF) 312. In Paragraph 2 you acknowledged that you received a security briefing concerning the nature of the information you were given access to and your responsibilities in protecting it. In Paragraph 3 you acknowledged your understanding that you could not disclose classified information to someone who was not briefed without written authorization to do so. In Paragraph 4 the obligation to submit any items that you have written and wish to publish for a pre-publication review was explained to you. In Paragraph 5 it was explained to you that the government will respond to your pre-publication review request. The Non-Disclosure Agreement In Paragraph 6 you were notified that any breach of this agreement may result in termination of accesses, termination of employment and may constitute a violation several laws which were made available to you to review. In Paragraph 7 you were made aware that the U.S. Government may seek any remedy available to it to enforce the NDA agreement to include going to court and if it went to court and you lose, you would pay all court costs including the government’s. In Paragraph 8 you were informed that the information you were being given access to belongs to the U.S. Government and remains the property of the U.S. Government and that you must return all information upon conclusion of your accesses and if you don’t you will have violated Section 793 Title 18 U.S. code. In Paragraph 9 it was explained that you must protect this information forever unless you were given written authorization by a cognizant authority to divulge information that was previously classified. It was further explained that future publication of information that you knew to be classified does not necessarily mean the information has been declassified and you are still obligated to protect it until authorized to the contrary. The Non-Disclosure Agreement In Paragraph 10 it was explained to you that each provision of this agreement stands separate and alone and if a particular paragraph is deemed unenforceable it doesn’t void the whole agreement—it only voids that paragraph. In Paragraph 11 you affirmed that you have read this agreement and all your questions were answered and the governing U.S. laws of the NDA were made available to you for review. In Paragraph 12 you agreed to assign to the U.S. Government all rights, titles, and monies that you may receive as a result of any disclosure not consistent with the terms of this agreement. In Paragraph 13 you were notified that the restrictions in the NDA were consistent with and do not super cede or conflict with U.S. law. In Paragraph 14 it was explained to you that the NDA agreement is interpreted under and in conformance with the laws of the United States. You were also informed of your obligation to report any fraud, waste, or abuse that you may have encountered while working on a government contract. In Paragraph 15 you affirmed that you signed the NDA agreement without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion.  Your Continuing Personnel Security Responsibilities & Reporting Requirements Continuing Responsibilities: Protection of Sensitive Information You must continue to protect any sensitive data that was entrusted to you or that you had access to until authorized to the contrary to include: – Government classified information – Government Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) information such as “For Official Use Only” (FOUO) – Export-controlled information protected under International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) – Company proprietary information Continuing Responsibilities: Classified Information Appearing in the News Media Remember, “Publication does not equal declassification.” This means that although at some point in the future you may see information you knew to be classified appear in some form in the news media or on the Internet, you can not infer that that information has been declassified. Continuing Responsibilities: Suspicious Contacts Although you are being debriefed at this time, there is a continued need for caution and discretion on your part.

You also still have an obligation to report the following should they occur:  Suspicious personal contacts  Unsolicited requests for information or assistance  Coercion or blackmail attempts Continuing Responsibilities: Seeking Assistance Because of your knowledge of national security information there are risks associated with foreign travel and foreign contact. Should you need advice regarding travel to a foreign country, legal restrictions, or if you have any questions about your continuing obligations, you are encouraged to first contact this office; however, if outside of this area, you may contact your local FBI or DCSA field office. Continuing Responsibilities: Reporting Obligations As long as your clearance is active you need to report any significant changes in your personal status.  Marital Status-Intent to marry, or cohabitation in a spouse like relationship  Psychological Issues  Adverse involvement with the law  Serious family or financial problems  Long term overseas travel.  Security Violations RESUME In preparing future resumes, you should Avoid revealing your specific knowledge or Expertise in classified systems.
