c. OPSEC is a capability that identifies and controls critical information, indicators of friendly force actions attendant to military operations, and incorporates countermeasures to reduce the risk of an adversary exploiting vulnerabilities. The OPSEC process examines administration, acquisitions, and operations to determine exploitable evidence of classified or unclassified sensitive activity.
The OPSEC process used in assessments and surveys is an analytical, risk-based process that incorporates five distinct elements detailed below.
Identify Critical Information Conduct Threat Analysis Conduct Vulnerability Analysis Conduct Risk Assessment Apply Countermeasures
11j1. OPSEC Plans: OPSEC Plans provide the contractor and DIA elements a living document used to implement the appropriate countermeasures given the probability and impact of the assessed risk.
11j2. OPSEC Assessments: OPSEC assessments measure the contractors OPSEC posture. Conduct OPSEC assessments on an annual basis incorporating input from subject matter experts, counterintelligence, security, and cyber security personnel to assess threats and potential loss of critical information. Assessments are conducted:
a. Based on the sensitivity of the operation or program.
b. Based on adversarial attempts to gain critical information.
c. Prior to OPSEC program or plan development. The assessment establishes a profile by showing indicators that present exploitable vulnerabilities.
11j3. OPSEC Surveys: OPSEC surveys seek to reproduce the intelligence image in light of the known collection capabilities of adversaries. Surveys require a specialized team to look at an activity from an adversarial perspective to determine disclosure of critical information through normal operations and functions, identify vulnerabilities, and propose countermeasures. Surveys may include telecommunications monitoring, radio frequency monitoring, network and computer systems assessments, and OSINT collection. Survey team members use the same risk analysis criteria found in OPSEC Assessments every 3 years.
11j4. Content Reviews: A content or “OPSEC review” is an evaluation of information intended for release outside of DIA control, including public release. The review seeks to identify and protect DIA unclassified information that may individually or in the aggregate lead to the compromise of classified information and sensitive activities. Updated CIL’s are mandatory for Content Reviews.
11j5. Critical Information Lists (CIL): Critical information is information about administration, acquisitions, and operations that an adversary seeks in order to gain advantage. Such information, if revealed to an adversary, may prevent or degrade mission accomplishment, cause loss of life, or waste critical resources. The Critical Information List (CIL) contains critical information that has been coordinated and approved, and is used by DIA Affiliates to identify information requiring application of OPSEC measures. CIL’s are typically unclassified for widest dissemination. Classified CILs restrict dissemination depending on the sensitivity of the contracted activity.
11j6. Critical Program Information (CPI): CPI is a capability that contributes to DIA’s technical advantage. CPI can be unclassified, classified, and specific to RDT&E funded programs. Record CPI as critical information, protect CPI through OPSEC countermeasures, non-investigative and non-operational CI activities describes in DODI 5240.24, and Anti-Tamper (AT) analysis and protections described in DODI 5200.39 and DODD 5200.47E.
11j7. Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM): Vulnerabilities to supply chains are susceptible to foreign subversion, exploitation, and sabotage. Record detailed supply chain information as critical information. The OPSEC assessment must incorporate supply chain information to determine vulnerabilities, determine risk to acquisition, and propose countermeasures.
11j8. OPSEC Deliverables:
a. Training. All DIA Affiliates will receive initial and reoccurring (annual) OPSEC training. The contractor will provide training to those with access to DIA information in accordance with DODD 5105.42 and DODD 5205.02E.
b. OPSEC Program Plan. The contractor will complete, implement, and maintain an OPSEC program plan specific to the location the contracted activity will occur at the beginning of the acquisitions process. Maintain and update annually OPSEC program plans detailing the OPSEC countermeasures identified during the OPSEC assessment. Provide a copy of the OPSEC program plan to the DIA element OPSEC coordinators and or DIA Program Manager at the beginning of the acquisition for review.
c. OPSEC Assessment. The contractor will complete, implement, and maintain an OPSEC assessment specific to the acquisition. The OPSEC assessment will meet the criteria established in DODM 5205.02. Route DIA security and counterintelligence support requests through the DIA element OPSEC coordinators and or DIA OPSEC Program Manager. Implement recommendations, OPSEC analysis, and planning materials provided by DIA element OPSEC coordinators and or DIA Program Manager, security and counterintelligence in a timely manner. Maintain a copy of the OPSEC assessment after completion of work for future reference.
Provide annual updates to the OPSEC assessment to the DIA element OPSEC coordinators, security, and counterintelligence for review.
d. Public Release. The contractor will notify the DIA element OPSEC coordinators and or DIA Program Manager and seek concurrence prior to public release of any information related to the contracted activity.
11j9. OPSEC Reporting. DIA affiliates, including contractors and sub-contractors will report OPSEC vulnerabilities and violations directly to the DIA element OSPEC coordinators. OPSEC disputes and violations will be resolved at the OPSEC coordinator level.
Contractor’s report OPSEC vulnerabilities that result in the theft, loss, spillage, and compromise of CPI, SCI, and SAP information to DIA’s CI & Security Reporting System (CISRS) found at https://diareporting.Dodiis.ic.gov/SelfReporting/. Contractors may also type “GO CISR” in the JWICS address bar to access CISRS directly
11k. In order to impose this requirement on a contractor. (1) Only certain classified material qualifies for movement by USTRANSCOM’s Defense Couriers. The GCA is responsible for complying with both DoD and TCJ3-C policy and procedures related to Defense Courier Operations. A NOI letter is required before a Prime Contractor can authorize a subcontractor to use the services of USTRANSCOM’s Defense Couriers.
11l. Receive, Store, or Generate Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Item 10j (CUI/FOUO) and Item 11i (TEMPEST) only pertain for the protection of any CUI required in the performance of this classified contract. The NISPOM, does not provide specific guidance concerning CUI so the GCA must provide guidance on protection procedures in Item 13.
11m. Contract companies shall provide all cleared employees with security training and briefings commensurate with their involvement with classified information. All contractors’ training shall reinforce the information provided during the initial security briefing and shall keep cleared employees informed of appropriate changes in security regulations. Contractors shall maintain records about the programs offered and employee participation in them. Contractors may obtain defensive security, threat awareness, and other education and training information and material from their CSA or GCA or other sources.

Individuals authorized access to SCI incur a special and continuing security obligation to be aware of the risks associated with foreign intelligence operations and/or possible terrorist activities directed against them in the U.S. and abroad. These individuals also have a responsibility to recognize and avoid personal behaviors and activities that may adversely impact their continued eligibility for access to SCI. Accordingly, these individuals shall report to their DIA, actual or planned involvement in any of the activities listed below prior to participation in such activities or otherwise as soon as possible following the start of their involvement. DIA shall, following an analysis of such reported activities, determine if participation poses a potential threat to the protection of SCI or to the national security and take appropriate action.
2. SCI-indoctrinated individuals are discouraged from unofficial travel to countries when it is determined that such travel presents a threat to their personal safety and/or to SCI. In addition, SCI-indoctrinated individuals are discouraged from visiting the diplomatic or trade missions of these countries, as well as traveling on transportation carriers owned or controlled by these countries.
3. Failure to comply with reporting requirements and resultant determinations made by the DIA or designee may result in administrative action to include, but not limited to, revocation of SCI access and denial of future SCI access approval.
4. DIA may determine that operational and mission needs preclude strict adherence to these reporting requirements. In these instances, equivalent notification, briefing, and reporting shall be accomplished in accordance with DIA requirements.
b. SCI Suspension or Revocation Requirements. The Government reserves the right to suspend or revoke SCI eligibility/access based upon ICD 704, for access to SCI and other Controlled Access Program Information, based upon violation or deviation from established administrative or security procedures by contract personnel, resulting in the revocation of their security clearance or SCI access, removal from the facility, denial of future entry, and possible civil or criminal proceedings. The Contractor and its employees shall cooperate fully in security matters, which may arise relating to this contract. Failure to do so may be interpreted as purposeful non-cooperation and may result in removal from contract, SCI access and security processing and reporting of information to DCSA, impacting facility clearance

The FSO/CSSO should retrieve government issued credentials from the contractor upon discontinuing contract support with DIA.
1.10 BADGE GUIDANCE:
a. Issuance of IC Badge: The IC Badge will be issued to respective contract personnel who have been nominated, favorably adjudicated and briefed by DIA Office of Security into SCI eligibility and access, based upon contract requirements identified within the acquisition document (SOW, PWS or SOO) requiring contract personnel to access other IC agencies (ODNI, Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force, USCG, DoS, Treasury, DOE, DHS, FBI, CIA, NSA, NRO, NGA, and DEA) in support of DIA contractual requirements. The COR is responsible for selecting the appropriate badge category (IC or DIA Staff Badge) on the DIA Form 386.
b. Issuance of DIA Staff Badge: The DIA Staff Badge will be issued to respective contract personnel who have been nominated, favorably adjudicated and briefed by DIA Office of Security into SCI eligibility and access, based upon contract requirements identified within the acquisition document requiring contract personnel to access DIA facilities in support of DIA contractual requirements.

1.11. Disposition of Government Information and or Equipment: The Contractor shall not release information (including photographs, files, public announcements, statements, denials or confirmations) on any part of the subject matter of this contract, on any phase of any Government program, or regarding any individuals, without the prior written approval of the Contract Officer. The Contractor may provide only the following information regarding this contract in the past performance section of any proposal that it submits in response to any solicitations issued by any local, state, or U.S. Government agency:
The unclassified contract numbers.
The unclassified contract types.
The unclassified contract award date.
The unclassified contract dollar value.
The unclassified contract periods of performance.
The unclassified contract project title.
The unclassified contract work description summary.

1.12 Transmitting for Official Use Only/Controlled Unclassified Information (FOUO/CUI):
a. Transmitting FOUO/CUI, routinely occurs when emailing acquisition documents (Statement of Works (SOWs), Statement of Objectives (SOOs), Performance Work Statements (PWS) and Acquisition Purchase Requests (APRs), completed DD- 254s, Security Continuation Pages, Notification of Intent to Sub-Contract Memorandums, Co-Utilization Agreements, SCI/Collateral Security Nominations Memorandums, etc… that has classification markings as Unclassified/For Official Use Only or Controlled Unclassified Information, requiring transmission to non .mil and or .gov email addresses. Although this information is not classified it is not for public release and measures must be implemented to prevent the unauthorized receipt of for official use only information.
b. CIO and OPSEC have implemented measures to prevent this from occurring. Information transmitted to non .mil and .gov email addresses are systematically screened to identify PII, FOUO and CUI from being transmitted unencrypted. In the event an email is transmitted that contains PII, FOUO and CUI the installed software on NIPR will prevent the transmission and simultaneously send an electronic OPSEC Violation Notification to the originator of the email and the supervisor.
c. The DOD SAFE application is used to send large files to individuals which would normally be too large to send via email. There are no user accounts for SAFE - authentication is handled via email and CAC. Everyone has access to SAFE, and the application is available for use by anyone. DOD SAFE Link: https://safe.apps,mil/
1) To encrypt unclassified information that is categorized as FOUO/CUI through encryption to minimize the un-authorized receipt of sensitive Security Addendum unclassified information, resulting in an OPSEC Violation, the Department of Defense (DOD) Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) or the Microsoft Office encryption tool must be used to encrypt the email containing sensitive unclassified information.
2) Either of the referenced encryption tools can be used to facilitate the encryption of the transmission of various acquisition and security documents to or from a non .mil or .gov email address between DIA and contract companies.
3) Contract Security personnel will utilize DOD SAFE as a guest user, due to no Common Access Card (CAC) access at contract facilities. Note highlighted information.
d. Microsoft Encryption Tool:
1) The Microsoft encryption tool is another option to utilize for encryption of PII and FOUO unclassified information transmitted to non .mil and .gov email addresses. The tool can be accessed utilizing the following procedures:
2) At the prompt Security setting will not be applied to the document until you have saved the document.
