The MAC (Mandatory Access Control) levels of a Department of Defense (DoD) information system refer to the security classifications that determine access to information based on its sensitivity. These levels include classifications such as Unclassified, Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret, each corresponding to specific handling and access requirements. The MAC framework restricts user access based on their clearance level and the classification of the information, ensuring that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized personnel. This system is crucial for maintaining national security and protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.

DoD systems are categorized in two ways: mission assurance category (MAC) and classification level (CL).There are 3 MAC levels: I, II, and III.Refer to DoDI 8500.2 for more details, but in general terms:MAC I systems cannot ever go down - the mission of the organization fails, the war is lost, people die - bad, bad stuff happens if the system goes down without another system coming on line immediately to take over for itMAC II systems cannot be down for very long. When they are down, mission capability is degraded until the capability is restored. A great many DoD systems fall in this categoryMAC III systems need to be back up and running as soon as reasonable. They are not critical or vital to operations but do impact day to day operations. Public facing web sites, continuing learning sites, stuff like that are typical MAC III systemsThere are 3 CL levels: classified, sensitive, publicClassified includes system handling information with Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret classificationsSensitive includes systems handling unclassified information that is nevertheless sensitive such as Personal information (PII) like soldiers social security numbers, annual personnel evaluations, etc, as well as information that is FOUO or CUI (controlled unclassified information.Public includes systems handling information open to the public such as public DoD web sites.
MAC-2 requires more stringent protection measures than MAC-3, but not as much as MAC-1. This level of protection must be better than industry best practices.

MAC Level 3 refers to a classification within the Department of Defense's (DoD) Military Access Control (MAC) system, indicating a moderate level of security and access restrictions. This level is typically applied to systems that handle sensitive but unclassified information, requiring a controlled environment to protect against unauthorized access. Access at this level may involve specific personnel vetting and adherence to established security protocols.
