Derivative classification can only be done by individuals who have the authority to originally classify information. This means that those with the proper security clearance and training can assign a classification level to information based on its content and source, in alignment with the original classification guidance.
The government agency or organization that creates the information has the authority to originally classify it based on the level of sensitivity or potential harm if disclosed. This is typically done by officials who are designated as original classifiers within that organization.
The Original Classification Authority (OCA) is an individual who has the authority to classify information in the U.S. government. They have the responsibility to determine the level of classification (e.g. confidential, secret, top secret) for national security information.
The Original Classification Authority (OCA) should err on the side of overclassification to protect sensitive information until a definitive decision can be made. It is better to initially classify the information at a higher level and then conduct a reassessment rather than risk underclassifying and compromising security. The OCA can always downgrade the classification after further evaluation.
The only lawful reason to classify information is to protect national security, prevent harm to individuals or communities, or safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Information is classified to protect national security, safeguard sensitive data, prevent unauthorized access or misuse, and maintain confidentiality. Classification helps ensure that information is only accessed by authorized individuals and helps prevent risks such as espionage, cyberattacks, and other security threats.
