The purpose of the DoD Information Security Program is to promote the proper and effective way to classify, protect, share, apply applicable downgrading and appropriate declassification instructions, and use authorized destruction methods for official information which requires protection in the interest of national security. Classification is the act or process by which information is determined to require protection against unauthorized disclosure and is marked to indicate its classified status. Safeguarding refers to using prescribed measures and controls to protect classified information. Dissemination refers to the sharing or transmitting of classified information to others who have authorized access to that information. Declassification is the authorized change in status of information from classified to unclassified. Destruction refers to destroying classified information so that it can’t be recognized or reconstructed.
