Att-03_OPSEC Guide for Defense Contractors.pdf

This document is an Operations Security (OPSEC) Guide for Defense Contractors issued by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport. The guide provides comprehensive instructions for defense contractors working with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, focusing on protecting critical and sensitive information from potential adversaries. Key requirements include strict controls on electronic devices, communications, information sharing, and training, with contractors mandated to complete initial OPSEC training within 30 days of assignment and annually thereafter.

The guide defines OPSEC as a process to identify critical information, determine vulnerabilities, and implement countermeasures to prevent unauthorized disclosure. Contractors must adhere to specific protocols such as: not discussing government operations in public, avoiding posting sensitive information on company websites, protecting government-issued badges, marking and protecting internal production schedules, and destroying all government information at contract termination. The document applies to contractors with long-term or short-term access to Naval facilities, including those involved in construction, installation, maintenance, meetings, inspections, and support of sensitive operations.
