Unclassified information requiring safeguarding and dissemination controls, pursuant to and consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and government-wide policies.
A Security Classification Guide (SCG) is a document that outlines the criteria for classifying and safeguarding classified information. It provides guidance on how to properly classify information based on its sensitivity and the level of protection required. SCGs help ensure consistency in the classification and protection of sensitive information across an organization.
NATO uses three levels of security classification: Unclassified, Classified, and NATO Classified. Each level corresponds to the sensitivity of the information and the level of protection required.
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.
Classified data that contains sensitive information, such as national security or personally identifiable information, must be handled and stored properly based on the specific markings and handling caveats designated for that level of classification. This may include encryption, restricted access controls, physical security measures, and secure communication protocols to ensure the protection of the data from unauthorized disclosure or access.

This describes the concept of information security in relation to classified and controlled unclassified information. The protection of such information is crucial, as its unlawful disclosure can potentially harm national security. Measures are in place to safeguard this sensitive information and prevent any unauthorized access or dissemination.
The order of levels of protection, from least to most protection required, typically follows this sequence: public information, sensitive but unclassified data, confidential information, and classified information. Public information requires minimal safeguards, while sensitive but unclassified data needs moderate protection. Confidential information demands stricter access controls, and classified information is subject to the highest levels of security and regulations.
Unclassified information requiring safeguarding and dissemination controls, pursuant to and consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and government-wide policies.
The authority to regulate the use, handling, security, and protection of classified information for the Department of State has been granted to the Secretary of State. This authority includes establishing policies and procedures for the safeguarding of classified information in accordance with federal laws and regulations. The Secretary is responsible for ensuring compliance and oversight within the department's operations.
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) refers to information that requires protection but is not classified under the federal government's classification system. It is subject to specific handling and dissemination controls as mandated by federal regulations to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access. CUI encompasses a variety of information types, including personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, and other sensitive details that could impact national security or individual privacy if disclosed improperly. The CUI framework aims to standardize how such information is managed across federal agencies and their partners.
Information is prohibited from being classified to conceal violations of law, inefficiency or administrative error, to prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency, to restrain competition, or to prevent or delay the release of information that does not require protection in the interests of national security.

Derivative classification is the process of incorporating, paraphrasing, restating, or generating new classified information from existing classified sources. It involves applying the same level of classification as the source material and ensuring proper handling and protection of the newly created classified information.
