PROTECTING SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM (SAP) INFORMATION

Addendum (27 September 2019 Edition)

Special Access Program (SAP) discussion, storage, and processing associated with this effort will be conducted in SAP Facilities (SAPF) specifically approved, in writing, by the USSOCOM SAPCO or designated USSOCOM Program Security Officer (PSO). Contact the individual in Block 16 for approved SAPF locations.

SAP activities are governed by Revision 1, of the Department of Defense Overprint to the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) Supplement; DoD Manual 5200.01 (DoD Information Security Program) Volumes 1-4, DoD Directive 5205.07 (Special Access Program Policy); DoD Manual 5205.07 (DoD Special Access Program Security Manual), Volumes 1-4; DoD Instruction 5205.11, (Joint SAP Implementation Guide (JSIG)); USSOCOM Manual 380-2 (SAP Security Guide); USSOCOM Manual 380-7 (USSOCOM Arms Control Readiness Inspection Program) and applicable program security classification guides and subsequent versions.

Access to SAP information requires employees to undergo additional personnel security screening and meet the requirements of DoD SAP accessing directives and policies in accordance with DoDM 5205.07, Volume 2. The individual must meet applicable eligibility requirements and possess a final Secret or Top Secret security clearance depending on the level of access required in performance of this contract. Program Access Requests (PAR) for contractor personnel must be submitted by the CPSO to the PSO for approval by the designated Access Approval Authority (AAA). Personnel approved for access will receive a program indoctrination briefing and must sign a SAP Indoctrination Agreement (PIA) prior to receiving access to program information or material. The CPSO will maintain the signed PIA and forward a copy to the PSO for entry into the appropriate database system.

SAP inspections and security oversight while in USSOCOM or Component government facilities are under the cognizance of the USSOCOM PSO or SAPCO representative, as appropriate. Additional Component SAP security requirements may apply for activities conducted at Service Component or Sub-unified command locations. The Performance Monitor or component command COR at these locations/facilities will provide specific or additional guidance. SAP reviews conducted at contractor facilities are under the security oversight of the Defense Counterintelligence & Security Agency (DCSA) unless officially relieved of oversight responsibilities.

OPSEC-sensitive or classified communication will be conducted via PSO-approved secure channels from within the SAPF. Transmission of documents via secure facsimile between terminals within SAPFs may be approved by the PSO. Only the U.S. Postal Service Register or Certified mail, if authorized, will be used to mail program material unless an alternate method is approved by the PSO. Briefed personnel are authorized to courier classified information within the continental United States with written approval from the CPSO or PSO. Two (program briefed) personnel are required to courier Top Secret material unless prior approval is obtained from the PSO. Couriers will be in the possession of PSO-issued courier authorization letters prior to travel. All material, to be mailed or carried, will be wrapped and transmitted in accordance with DoDM 5205.07, Volume 1.

Prior to processing SAP information on any Automated Information System (AIS), the contractor will provide the PSO with a System Security Plan (SSP) and other documentation required in JSIG for Assessment & Authorization (A&A) from the Authorizing Official (AO), or subsequent policy. The PSO will issue program specific Security Authorization following verification of the A&A process. USSOCOM Special Access Program (SAP) Policy Memorandum: Removable Media and Two-Person Integrity Control Policy is applicable for this contract.

Reproduction of program material will be conducted only be program indoctrinated personnel using only reproduction equipment and security procedures approved by the GPSO. A single person may reproduce non-accountable (Secret and below) classified material. All Top Secret (SAP) material must be reproduced by two program-indoctrinated individuals and must be documented and brought under formal accountability procedures.

Destruction of program material will be conducted only by program indoctrinated personnel using destruction equipment and procedures approved by the PSO. A single person may destroy non-accountable classified material. Accountable material must be destroyed, and documented, by two program cleared individuals.

The PSO will be advised of any reports which affect the baseline facility clearance or any incident that has an adverse impact on a personnel security clearance. All briefed personnel are required to report any information that could have an impact on their ability to protect classified information. Reportable items include: foreign travel, contacts, or associations; criminal, civil, financial, or mental health issues; and changes in personal status such as marriage, divorce, or employment. CPSOs are reminded of their responsibilities to diligently report any significant action or any change in an employee’s eligibility to the PSO immediately.

Per DoD Manual 5205.07 Volume 1, Encl 11, Sec 3: “Any (contractual) relationship with a prospective subcontractor requires prior approval by the PSO.” All security requirements levied upon the prime contractor will “flow-down” to the subcontractor. SAP access and other requirements must be pre-coordinated and approved by the PSO prior to implementation.

The GPSO will be advised of any incidents or reports which may affect the baseline facility clearance or any incident that has an adverse impact on a contractor’s personnel security clearance. All briefed personnel are required to report any information that may impact their SAP eligibility or their ability to protect classified information. Reportable items include foreign travel; foreign contacts or associations; criminal, civil, financial, or mental health issues, and any changes in their personal status such as marriage, divorce, or employment. CPSOs are reminded of the responsibilities to diligently report any significant action or change in an employee’s eligibility to the GPSO immediately.

A security incident is a broad term to describe security infractions, violations and compromises. These terms have succinct meanings; are further explained, defined, and require specific actions by the CPSO. The DoD definitions for these terms are defined in DoD Manual 5200.01-V3. If work under this contract is authorized in contractor-controlled or operated workspaces, CPSOs are highly encouraged to contact the GPSO or USSOCOM SAPCO whenever a security incident occurs in the contractor-controlled workspace or involving a contract employee under this effort.

PROTECTING “CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION” (CUI)

CUI Addendum (Updated March 2021)

1. GENERAL:

a. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is not a security classification, but designates unclassified information that requires any safeguarding or dissemination control per DoD Instruction 5200.48, “Controlled Unclassified Information” (6 March 2020).

b. With the implementation of DoDI 5200.48, DoDM 5200.01, Volume 4, “DoD Information Security Program: Controlled Unclassified Information” (24 February 2012, as amended), has been cancelled and “For Official Use Only” (FOUO) and is no longer authorized. All new documents shall be marked in accordance with the guidance below.

c. In order to balance the need to safeguard CUI with the public interest the CUI Registry, established by DoDI 5200.48, lists categories of CUI Basic/Specified and identifies basis for controls, and includes guidance on handling procedures.

d. There are two subsets of CUI.

i. CUI Basic is the subset of CUI for which law, regulation, or government policy does not set out specific handling or dissemination controls. CUI Basic handling and dissemination controls are the same as previously used for FOUO.

ii. CUI Specified is the subset of CUI for which law, regulation, or government policy contains specific handling controls that differ from CUI Basic. The government will provide marking and handling guidance separately for CUI Specified.

e. Remarking legacy FOUO documents is not required as long as they remain under DoD control. When needed, FOUO information does not automatically become CUI, so the material must be reviewed by the information owner to determine if it meets the CUI requirements and marked appropriately.

f. When responding to FOIA requests, the responsible DoD agency must base its decision on the content of the information and applicability of any of the FOIA statutory exemptions regardless of whether an agency designates or marks the information as CUI.

2. DESIGNATION as CUI: Designating CUI occurs when an authorized holder, consistent with DoDI 5200.48 and the CUI Registry, determines that a specific item of information falls into a CUI category or subcategory. The information must be designated as either CUI Basic or CUI Specified and the authorized holder must ensure that appropriate markings are applied to documents to ensure recipients are aware of the CUI status. See the associated Security Classification Guide (SCG) or other guidance provided by the Government Contracting Agency (GCA) for specific categories of CUI related to this contract and guidance on storage, handling, and dissemination.

3. MARKING:

a. Unclassified documents containing CUI will be marked CUI at the top & bottom of each page. As a best practice each “portion” (i.e. titles, subject lines, paragraphs, bullets, charts, etc.) containing CUI may be Portion Marked (CUI). If portion marks are used then Unclassified portions will be Portion Marked (U). Do not use (U//CUI).

b. The government will provide marking, handling, and dissemination guidance separately for any CUI Specified information. For classified contracts, this guidance will be contained in the associated SCG.

c. The following CUI Designation Indicator information will be included on the first/title page or cover of all unclassified documents containing CUI:

Controlled by: [Name of DoD Component and Office] CUI Category: [List of Category or Categories of CUI] Distribution/Dissemination Control: [Use “None” for CUI Basic/As required for CUI Specified) POC: [Phone Number and/or E-mail]

d. Classified documents containing CUI will NOT include CUI in the banner marking at the top and bottom of each page. Each paragraph that contains only CUI will be portion marked (CUI). All other paragraphs will be marked according to their classification. Do not “co-mingle” CUI with classified information. The above CUI Designation Indicator information must be included on the first page or cover (same as unclassified documents). Additionally, the following statement must be included on the first page of documents that contain both CUI and classified information:

This content is classified at the [insert highest classification level of the document] level and may contain elements of controlled unclassified information (CUI), unclassified, or information classified at a lower level than the overall classification displayed. This content shall not be used as a source of derivative classification; refer to [cite specific reference or applicable Security Classification Guide]. It must be reviewed for both Classified National Security Information (CNSI) and CUI in accordance with DoDI 5230.09 prior to public release.

4. PROCESSING: Unclassified Automated Information Systems (AIS) used to process CUI under this contract must meet the basic security requirements listed in the NIST SP 800-171 REV 2, “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Non-Federal Systems and Organizations”, 21 February 2020. AIS accredited and approved for processing classified information under this contract are also approved to process DoD CUI.

5. DISSEMINATION: CUI may be disseminated between officials of DoD Agencies, DoD contractors, consultants and grantees to conduct official business for the DoD provided the dissemination is consistent with controls imposed by a Distribution Statement or Limited Dissemination Controls (LDC). Guidance on Distribution Statements and LDCs will be provided separately by the government for any prescribed CUI Specified information. For classified contracts, this information will be contained in the program SCG. CUI always requires Foreign Disclosure Decision before release outside of DoD Agencies, DoD contractors, consultants and grantees.

6. STORAGE: During working hours, to prevent unauthorized access, do not leave CUI unattended, read or discuss around unauthorized personnel. CUI shall be placed in an out-of-sight location if the work area is accessible to persons who do not have a need for the information. During non-working hours, the information shall be stored to preclude unauthorized access. Filing such material with other unclassified records in unlocked files or desks, is adequate when internal building security is provided during non-working hours. When such internal security control is not exercised, locked buildings or rooms will provide adequate after-hours protection or the material can be stored in locked receptacles such as file cabinets, desks, or bookcases.

7. TRANSMISSION: CUI may be transmitted using the following:

a. Mail – CUI may be sent via first class mail or parcel post. Bulk shipments may be sent by fourth class mail. Contents must be properly marked, but no markings will appear on the outer wrapper.

b. Fax – Normally CUI may be sent via Facsimile equipment. To prevent unauthorized disclosure, coversheets should be used, the locations of both fax machines should be considered, and availability of an authorized recipient at the receiving end should be confirmed. Secure classified fax machines may be used without the above verifications.

c. E-Mail/Web Sites – E-mail may be used on approved secure communication systems or systems using other protective measures such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or transport layer security (e.g., https). E-mail messages must be appropriately marked to identify CUI status. Personnel will not use unofficial or personal email accounts, messaging systems, or other non-DoD information systems, except approved government contractor systems to conduct official business involving CUI.

d. Video Teleconferencing – Only use Government Agency approved secure, encrypted video conferencing and collaborative platforms (i.e. SVTC, etc.). CUI may not be discussed over commercially available video conferencing applications.

e. Avoid wireless transmission unless no other means are available.

8. DESTRUCTION: When no longer needed, CUI must be disposed of in a way that will make it unreadable, indecipherable, and irrecoverable. Use of approved sensitive/classified material destruction devices is recommended. (ISOO CUI Notice 2019-03, “Destroying Controlled Unclassified Information in Paper Form”, 15 July 2019)

9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE: Report misuse, mishandling, or Unauthorized Disclosure of CUI to the Unauthorized Disclosure Program Management Office, the Controlling Agency and the appropriate Military Department Counterintelligence Organization. While Unauthorized Disclosure of CUI does not constitute a security violation, a formal security inquiry/investigation is required if disciplinary action will be taken against the individual(s) responsible. Unauthorized Disclosure of certain CUI, such as export controlled-technical data, may also result in civil and criminal sanctions against responsible persons based on procedures codified in relevant law, regulation, or government-wide policy.
