Security Classification System OverviewClassified Information Defined
• Classified Information, including oral communications, is defined as any information, if improperly disclosed, that could be detrimental to national security
• Sensitive unclassified information in the process of a classification determination must be handled as classified
• Information that may be classified:‒ Military plans, weapons, systems or operations
‒ Foreign Government Information
‒ Intelligence Activities
‒ Cryptology
‒ Foreign Relations or Activities of the U.S.
‒ Scientific, Technological, or Economic Matters
‒ Programs for Safeguarding Nuclear material and/or Facilities
‒ Vulnerabilities or Capabilities of Systems, Installations, Projects, or Plans
‒ Weapons of mass destruction

Security Classification System OverviewThree Classification Levels
• A Security Classification Guide (SCG) is prepared by the U.S. Government’s designated Original Classification Authority (OCA) for the subject matter and
‒ Should be identified in the DD Form 254
‒ Identifies what information or material is classified
‒ Identifies the level of classification of the information
‒ Identifies downgrading, declassification or exemption instructions
‒ All program personnel are obligated to read their program classification guidance to know what is classified about the program they work on
• If you believe information has been over classified, contact the Security Department
Security Classification System OverviewClassification Guides
Security Classification System OverviewOriginal and Derivative Classification
• Executive Order 13526 and its predecessors establishes a formal system for classification, declassification and safeguarding of U.S. classified information
• Original Classification Authority (OCA) - U.S. Government only– All classified material is the property of the U.S. Government and it
determines what is classified and at what level
• Derivative classification ‒ Utilized by contractors who incorporate, paraphrase, restate, or newly
generate classified information from existing classified material by using the following for derivative classification guidance
Source Document Security Classification Guide (SCG) Contract Security Classification Specifications (DD Form 254)
– Derivative classifiers Are responsible for the protection and integrity of classified information Must possess expertise regarding the subject matter of the classified
information, as well as classification management and marking techniques Must obtain classification training prior to derivatively classifying and receive
biennial training thereafter
Security Classification System OverviewSpecial Access Categories
• Special access information requires additional access restrictions and/or handling
• Classification markings are used in conjunction with any of the following caveats:
‒ North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) information
‒ Foreign Government Information (FGI)
‒ Intelligence Information (NOFORN, ORCON, PROPIN, REL TO (country name))
‒ Critical Nuclear Weapons Design Information (CNWDI)
‒ Restricted Data (RD)
‒ Formerly Restricted Data (FRD)
‒ Communications Security (COMSEC) and CRYPTO
Identify the exact information that requires protection
Indicate the level of classification assigned to the information
Provide guidance on downgrading and declassification
Give information on the source(s), reasons for classification, identify the office of origin and document originator applying the classification marking
Provide guidance on information sharing, and warn of special access, control, or safeguarding requirements
Assist with investigations into potential or actual compromise

Working Papers must always be annotated with the term “Working Papers” and the date of creation, marked with overall classification, and safeguarded in accordance with overall classification.
Once either 180 days (for SECRET) or 30 days (for TOP SECRET) has been reached, or sooner if being released by the originator outside the facility, documents must be accounted for, controlled, and marked in a manner prescribed for a finished document.
Individual pieces of related Working Papers, should be fastened together for ease of tracking.
If more than one SCG is used in generation, it is a good idea to indicate this on the Working Papers.
