Original classification refers to the process of classifying information at the time it is created. It does not apply to information that has already been classified or declassified, as those would fall under subsequent classification processes. Additionally, original classification does not apply to information that is already publicly available or does not meet the criteria for classification.
Derivative classification is the process of creating new classified information based on existing classified information. It involves incorporating or paraphrasing classified information into a new document, often with a lower level of classification.
No, individuals are not prohibited from challenging or questioning the classification status of classified information. They can request a classification review or file a formal challenge to the classification authorities. However, it is important to note that unauthorized disclosure or mishandling of classified information is prohibited and can have legal consequences.
To determine if information has already been classified, organizations typically conduct a review of the information by assessing its sensitivity and applying classification guidelines. To ensure it continues to be classified, access controls, encryption, and regular security assessments are implemented. Training employees on handling classified information is crucial to maintaining its classification.
Derivative classification refers to the process of creating new classified information based on existing classified information. While it does not carry the same level of authority and thorough review as original classification, it is still important in protecting sensitive information and ensuring consistency in how classified information is handled. Derivative classification is typically done to facilitate information sharing and avoid duplication of effort in the classification process.
