Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is classified national intelligence that derives from sensitive intelligence sources, methods or analytical processes and must be managed under formal access control systems. Access to SCI is only granted after adjudicating eligibility through an in-depth background investigation and signing an Intelligence Community Nondisclosure Agreement form 4414.
Always Scan Sensitive Compartmented Information
Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is a subset of classified national intelligence that represents information derived from or concerning sensitive intelligence sources and methods, or which comes directly from those sources. As this data requires special handling with controls exceeding those for Top Secret classification levels, SCI must be managed through formal access control systems established by the Director of National Intelligence; alternatively it may also fall within another classification category such as Confidential, Secret or Top Secret levels defined by Intelligence Community members.
Information that requires classified level I (SC II or higher) classification requires special care in handling and protecting, thus necessitating routine document scanning before their release into circulation – this practice serves to safeguard national security as well as the public by making sure no documents with SCI classification or higher are compromised which could prove dangerous for both sides.
SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) are rooms, groups of rooms, buildings or installations where SCI may be stored, used, discussed or electronically processed. Their purpose is to protect occupants from surveillance. Examples include permanent facilities like the White House Situation Room as well as temporary locations when lawmakers or military personnel require briefing while traveling.
These facilities are constructed to be acoustically and electrically shielded; therefore, they cannot be accessed by members of the general public and can only be accessed by those with appropriate security clearances and authorization to utilize them. They often come equipped with layers of security guards as well as CCTV coverage.
Removable media use within a SCIF must abide by strict rules, with only authorized personnel permitted to bring in personal electronic devices (PEDs) that must be scanned before entering. Once inside, approved devices should remain under their user’s custody until briefing concludes and then promptly removed after completion of briefing – non-connected to any IT systems within the facility either.
If someone without access restrictions comes into possession of sensitive classified information (SCI), this could pose a grave national security threat and have far-reaching repercussions for both the United States and its allies. Thus, it is critical that users follow guidelines regarding removable media storage within SCIFs.
Use UGA’s Send Files to Send Sensitive Compartmented Information
As an employee of UGA, it is your duty to protect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Sensitive PII collected, accessed, used or shared during the performance of your duties. UGA strongly suggests redacting or password protecting any Sensitive PII data before scanning, emailing, printing, or storing it. Furthermore, Send Files may be useful when it comes to sharing any Sensitive PII with someone outside UGA. Send Files is an encrypted online file transfer service provided by UGA MyID holders that enables them to safely send and receive files up to 2GB in size. In order to use Send Files, users will require ArchPass, UGA’s two-step login solution powered by Duo; more information regarding Send Files can be found on its page.
