Q

Factors in Choosing a Container/Facility

A
  1. Level of Material
    - Confidential document would require stricter storage requirements than an unclassified document
  2. Type of Material
    - Paper material would have different storage requirements than weapons
  3. Geographic Location of Material
    - Different requirements for materials being stored overseas, in war zones, for example, than for materials being stored in the United States.

Q

Secure Room

A
  • Areas designated and authorized for the open storage of classified information
  • Used when larger storage capability is needed than can be obtained from the use of GSA-approved security containers alone
  • Built to enhanced commercial construction standards, but do not afford the extra security inherent with vaults.
  • May have additional requirements prohibiting the open storage of classified information
21
Q

What is the policy is used for construction standards for secure rooms?

A

DoDM 5200.01, Information Security Program for DoD

NISPOM for cleared contractor facilities

22
Q

Secure Room vs Vault

A

Both are areas designated and authorized for the open storage of classified information

Vaults are constructed to meet strict forcible entry standards established by the GSA and outlined in DoDM 5200.01

Vaults are more secure than secure rooms

23
Q

Characteristics of Vaults

A
  • Reinforced concrete on all walls, ceilings, and floors
  • Hardened steel door
  • Doors must meet GSA standards for surreptitious, covert, and forced entry
24
Q

Factors to Maintain Certification of Vault

A
  • Doors and frames must remain in their original color, which is gray
  • Placement of GSA-approved labels on the outside face of vault doors
  • Locks installed on vault doors have the same requirements as locks installed on security containers.
25
Q

Top Secret Storage Requirements

A

Stored in a GSA-approved container and, at least one of the following supplemental protections is required:

  • Continuous protection by cleared guard or duty personnel, or cleared guard/duty personnel inspects container every 2 hours
  • An intrusion detection system (IDS) used with 15 minute response time with security-in-depth or within 5 minutes if not security-in-depth
26
Q

Secret Storage Requirements

A

Secret information must be stored in one of the areas approved for Top Secret information.

Supplemental protection is not required for Secret information stored in a GSA-approved security container or vault.

Supplemental protection is required for Secret information that is stored by defense contractors in a closed area. It must have at least one of the following supplemental protections

  • Continuous protection by cleared guard or duty personnel
  • Cleared guard or duty personnel inspects container every 4 hours
  • IDS used with a 30 minute response time
27
Q

Confidential Storage Requirements

A

Confidential information must be stored in one of the areas approved for Top Secret or Secret information.

Supplemental protection is not normally required for the storage of Confidential information.

28
Q

Container Access Control

A
  • Granted only to those who are authorized to access the classified information stored inside or to those who are authorized to change combinations or make repairs on the security containers and locks
  • Entrances to storage containers must be kept under visual observation or equipped with electric, mechanical, or electromechanical access control devices at all times during work hours
  • Keep records of security containers, vaults, and secure rooms used for the storage of classified material
29
Q

What forms are utilized for access control?

A

SF-700
SF-701
SF-702

30
Q

SF-700

A

Security Container Information

  • Tracks the location of the storage container as well as the contact information for each individual who knows the combination and should be contacted in the event the container is found open and unattended.
  • Must be stored in a sealed, opaque envelope inside the control drawer.
31
Q

SF-701

A

Activity Security Checklist
-Records end-of-day security checks which are conducted to ensure all vaults, secure rooms, and containers used for the storage of classified information are secured at the end of each working day

32
Q

SF-702

A

Security Container Check Sheet
-Tracks opening and closing of storage containers.

*If there is an open container violation, this form helps to narrow the scope of inquiry.

33
Q

Storage Container Procedures

A
  • Procure new security storage equipment from the GSA Federal Supply Schedule.
  • Do not mark the outside of a storage container in any way that could divulge the classification level of the material being stored.
  • It is recommended that you keep the sides and tops of containers clear.
  • When removing security containers, you must completely inspect the inside of the container, including complete drawer removal, to ensure there is no classified material left inside
  • Turn in the containers in accordance with local property control procedures.
34
Q

Container Content Requirements

A

Do not store classified information with sensitive items or weapons. Doing so could make the classified storage container more of a target for thieves looking for valuables.

Destroy classified information when no longer needed. This reduces the need for additional storage containers.

35
Q

Neutralization

A

The drilling or cutting open of a lock by properly trained and equipped personnel. Ex: lock freezes, forget combo or lose key

  • Neutralization must be done by a GSA Authorized Safe & Vault Technician using methods outlined in Federal Standard 809B
  • Neutralization may affect the container’s certification, so the container must be repaired to its original condition so it may be recertified
36
Q

Key-Operated Lock Requirements

A

Keys and locks must be protected at all times.

Protect keys and spare locks in a secure container at the same level of protection afforded the material or information being secured.

37
Q

Combination Lock Requirements

A
  • Combinations must be protected at all times.
  • Treat combinations at the same level of classified material they protect.
  • It is recommended you always secure mechanical combination locks with four rotations of the dial.
  • Change combinations at specific times such as when they are first placed in use, when an individual who knows the combination no longer requires access, when the combination has been subject to possible compromise, and when the container is taken out of service.
  • When a container is taken out of service, the combination must be reset to the factory default setting.
38
Q

What is a restricted area?

A

Storage facilities in buildings or on military installations that require additional protection

39
Q

Common types of restricted areas

A

SCIFs
AA&E storage facilities
Nuclear storage facilities

40
Q

Demarcation

A

Warning signs displaying RESTRICTED AREA must be posted no more than 100 feet apart at each boundary of or logical approach to the restricted area

Must be easily read by anyone approaching on foot or in a vehicle

Signs must be posted on every gate and on both sides of every fence corner

41
Q

SCIF

A

Used by the intelligence community for the storage of their sensitive compartmented information (SCI)

Strict construction standards must be adhered to (ICD 705)

A

AA&E must be demilitarized or disposed of once they have become obsolete or unserviceable. By doing this, costs for protecting, storing, and accounting for AA&E no longer needed will be reduced

46
Q

A

Fixed-location, free-standing magazines

47
