PEO CS&CSS OPSEC REVIEW PROCESS

1. An OPSEC Review is intended to evaluate government information (document, video tape, voice tape, briefings, articles, or equipment) to determine if it can be designated "UNCLASSIFIED" and released to the public. The purpose of an OPSEC Review is to ensure the continued protection of government information, which for operation, legal or security reasons, is considered sensitive or critical information that should not be released to the public.

2. Before a government employee or contractor can release US Government information to the public, it must have an OPSEC Review.

3. PEO CS&CSS personnel (to include contractors/contracting partners) will use the STA Form 7114-2 PEO CS&CSS to guide and document the OPSEC Review process. The STA Form 7114-2 PEO is designed to be used electronically. If electronic means are not available, contact the PEO OPSEC Officer as there is a form that can be used with hard signatures.
