β 9y agoThis 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.

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.
This concept is known as aggregation, where combining individual pieces of unclassified information can unveil sensitive associations or relationships that require protection. It is used to safeguard sensitive information by preventing the disclosure of potentially confidential or classified details that could be derived from seemingly harmless data.

Data spillage occurs when information in any form is moved from a protected system and introduced into a system that does not afford it the same or better level of protection as the system from which it was moved. In the case of classified information: when data that is classified at one level is placed into a system or network that is protected at a lower or unclassified level. The same is true for privileged medical, financial, or personally identifiable information that is moved from a privileged directory and placed in an "all users" directory.
Classification by Compilation
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 canβt be recognized or reconstructed. At this point, you should have an understanding of how the Information Security Program has evolved and why it is so important.
