Elements that should be considered in identifying Critical Program Information - Elements which if compromised could:
- cause significant degradation in mission effectiveness,
- shorten the expected combat-effective life of the system
- reduce technological advantage
- significantly alter program direction; or
- enable an adversary to defeat, counter, copy, or reverse engineer the technology or capability.

consider when assessing and managing risks to DoD assets
The three categories of Special Access Programs -
acquisition, inteligence, and operations and support
Three different types of threats to classified information
- Insider Threat, Foreign Inteligence Entities (FIE) and Cybersecurity Threat
The concept of an insider threat.
An emplove who may represent a threat to national security These Threats encompass potential espionage, Violent acts against the government or the nation and unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including the vast amounts of classified data available On interconnected United states Government computer networks and systems
The purpose of the Foreign Visitor Program -

special Acces Program -
A program established for a specific class of classified information that imposes Safeguarding and access requirements that exceed those normally required for information at the same classification level.
Enhanced security requirements for protecting Special Access Program (SAP) information - Within Personnel Security:
Access Rosters;
• Billet Structures (if required);
• Indoctrination Agreement;
• Clearance based on an appropriate investigation completed within the last 5 years:
• Individual must materially contribute to the program in addition to having the need to know:
• All individuals with access to SAP are subject to a random counterintelligence scope polygraph examination;
• Polygraph examination, if approved by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, may be used as a mandatory access determination;
• Tier review process;
• Personnel must have a Secret or Top-Secret clearance;
• SF-86 must be current within one year;
• Limited Access;
• Waivers required for foreign cohabitants, spouses, and immediate family members.
Within Industrial Security:

The four Cognizant Security Agencies (CSAs)
Department of Defense (DoD), Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Department of Energy (DoE), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Cognizant Security Agencies (CA)s’ role in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP). -
Establish an industrial security program to safeguard classified information under its jurisdiction.
Critical Program Information in DoD-
- U.S. capability elements that contribute to the warfighter’s advantage throughout the life cycle, which if compromised or subject to unauthorized disclosure, decrease the advantage.
- Elements or components of a Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA) program that, if compromised, could cause significant degradation in mission effectiveness; shorten the expected combat-effective life of the system; reduce technological advantage; significantly alter program
direction; or enable an adversary to defeat, counter, copy, or reverse engineer the technology or capability. Includes information about applications, capabilities, processes and end-items. Includes
elements or components critical to a military system or network mission effectiveness. Includes technology that would reduce the U.S. technological advantage if it came under foreign control.

- Communication or physical transfer of classified or controlled unclassified
information to an unauthorized recipient
The purpose of intrusion detection systems

What SAPs aim to achieve -
- Protect technological breakthroughs
- Cover exploitation of adversary vulnerabilities
- Protect sensitive operational plans
- Reduce intelligence on U.S. capabilities
Protection Level
This communicates how the SAP is acknowledged and protected
Acknowledged -
This protection level describes a SAP whose existence may be openly recognized. Its
purpose may be identified. However, the details of the program (including its technologies, materials, and techniques) are classified as dictated by their vulnerability to exploitation and the risk of compromise. The funding is generally unclassified.
Unacknowledged -
This protection level describes a SAP whose existence and purpose are protected.
The details, technologies, materials, and techniques are classified as dictated by their vulnerability to exploitation and the risk of compromise. The program funding is often classified, unacknowledged, or not directly linked to the program.
SAP Lifecycle
- Establishment (is extra protection warranted?)
- Management and Administration (continued need? processed followed?)
- Apportionment (proper measures in place? approval received)
- Disestablishment (program no longer needed?)
Component-level SAP Central Offices -
