Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is a category of classified information in the United States that requires additional handling and protection due to its sensitivity and the potential risk to national security if disclosed. Access to SCI is restricted to individuals with specific security clearances and a need-to-know basis.
There are three levels of classification used for US classified information: Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret. Additional access controls may be applied within these levels, such as Special Access Programs (SAP) or Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).
Posting sensitive information on public social media platforms.
Publicly available information such as a person's name, public social media posts, or company contact information would typically not be considered sensitive information.
Publicly available information is NOT an example of sensitive information. Sensitive information typically includes personal data such as Social Security numbers, credit card information, health records, or confidential business documents. Publicly available information is freely accessible to the public and does not require protection.
Sensitive information includes personal data such as social security numbers, financial information, healthcare information, and any other information that, if disclosed, could lead to identity theft, financial loss, or harm to an individual's reputation or safety.

The security level known as TS SCI is fully known as top secret sensitive compartmented information. Typically this means that the information is tightly controlled and the number of people with access is very limited.
TS-SCI clearance is a grade of Security Code clearance in the US Department of Defense. TS-SCI is an abbreviation (acronyms are different) that stands for Top Secret - Sensitive Compartmented Information.

A Top Secret (TS) security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access typically lasts for five years. However, the clearance must be re-investigated every five years to ensure the individual still meets the eligibility criteria for access to classified information.
"SCIF clearance" refers to having the necessary security clearance and "need-to-know" to be present in a SCIF without it being "sanitized" prior to entry and without escort. SCIF is an acronym used by the US military to refer to a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. Typically access to such a facility requires a TS/SCI (top-secret special compartmented information) clearance specifically for the SCI (Sensitive Comparmented Information) being processed within the facility. SCI is not a "classification" so it is actually possible for information to be SCI but classified at the Secret or even Confidential level, although this is much less common than for Top-Secret information. SCI is based on the principle of "need-to-know" rather than the degree of damage that would occur if the information was disclosed (which is how Confidential, Secret, and Top-Secret classifications are assigned).
Establishes minimum security requirements for systems processing sensitive compartmented information (SCI), requires layering of approaches for IA and management of interconnected systems to minimize risk, and establishes mission assurance categories to reflect the importance of information relative to DoD goals. DOES NOT mandate identification and inclusion of IA requirements for information systems in accordance with OMB Circular A-130.
