Reminder: Information Security (INFOSEC)is covered under AR 380-5, and is everyonesresponsibility. This program is primarilydesigned to implement controls andmeasures for protecting and safeguardingclassified information from unauthorizeddisclosure. Army personnel are required toreceive an initial INFOSEC briefing uponarrival to a new organization, and annually forrefresher training. Contact the INFOSECProgram Manager regarding security

concerns in your organization.

Understanding your responsibilities inpreventing and responding to securityincidents or compromises (including

classified spillages).

According to AR 380-5, Paragraph 10-1a, thecompromise or loss of classified informationcan cause damage to our national security. If

classified material is lost, it cannot bedetermined if the information has beencompromised. When loss or compromise ofclassified information happens, immediateaction is required to minimize any damageand eliminate any conditions that might causefurther compromises. Each incident in whichclassified information or material may havebeen lost or compromised must be thesubject of a preliminary inquiry as describedin AR 380-5, Chapter 10. The purposes of

this preliminary inquiry will be to:

Determine whether classified information wascompromised and, if so, whether there isdamage to the national security. For moreinformation on preliminary inquiries and otherresponsibilities when responding to actual orpotential security incidents, check outChapter 10 in AR 380-5, or contact theInstallation Security Manager.

SETA: Security Education Trainingand Awareness

It is the SETA goal to enhance the security

posture of the U.S. Army by promoting

and communicating security awareness

across broad security disciplines to all

designated security personnel. The ArmyG-2 is emphasizing the SETA website

(http://www.dami.army.pentagon.mil/site/

seta/default.aspx) as a communication tool

to stay current on all SETA/SPeD news

and future effort. The SETA website was

created with the intentions of providing

security professionals access to SETAinformation from the comforts of their

own home. Website contains securityprogram elements, training opportunities,

security events, and a security toolbox.

The soldier, above all other people, prays forpeace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest

wounds and scars of war.

The Department of Defense states that Industrial Security is the portion of in-formation security concerned with the protection of classified

information in the custody of U.S. industry. The purpose of the Industrial Security Program is to safeguard classified information that may

be or has been released to cur-rent, prospective or former contractors.

To promote our national interests, the U.S. Government issues contracts, li-censes, and grants to nongovernment organizations to include

Universities, consultants and contractors. National security also requires that the industrial security program promote economic and

technological interests of the U.S. The U.S. industry develops and produces the majority of our nation's defense technologymuch of whichis classifiedand as a result, plays a significant role in creating and protecting the information that is vital to our nation's security.

The National Industrial Security Pro-gram (NISP) was established by Executive Order 12829, as amended, to ensure that cleared U.S.

defense contractors safeguard the classified information in their possession. The National Security Council sets policy for the NISP, while

the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) is the authority for implementation. Under the ISOO, the Secretary of

Defense is the Executive Agent, but the NISP recognizes four different Cognizant Security Agencies, all of which have equal a uthority; the

Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Pursuant to the NISP is the establishment of the National Industrial Security Pro-gram Policy Advisory Committee (NISPPAC). The

NISPPAC is chaired by the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) and has representation from DoD, non-DoD Agencies and 7

appointed members of Industry that collectively represent all of industry. The NISPPAC is responsible for recommending changes in

industrial security policy through modifications to the NISP, its implementing directives, and DoD 5220.22-R, Industrial Security

Regulation. The NISPPAC also advises ISOO on all matters concerning the policies of the NISP, including recommended changes to those

policies, and serves as a forum to discuss policy issues in dispute.

Currently, there are approximately 13,000 contractor facilities that are cleared for access to classified information. The Defense Security

Service (DSS) estimates that around 11 million classified documents are in the hands of U.S. industry. At this time, there is no DoD database

which provides the exact number of classified contracts the Army currently holds; however, a recent HQDA, G-2 data call was forwarded t

the Army Commands, Direct Reporting Units and Army Service Component Commands in support of the Army Security Manpower Mode

to gather the total number of classified con-tracts.

To have access to U.S. classified information and participate in the NISP, a con-tractor must have a legitimate requirement, must

demonstrate the ability to protect the classified information to the appropriate level, and must execute a Defense Security Agreement, DD

Form 441, which is a legally binding document between the government and contractor. This Agreement sets forth the responsibilities of

both parties and obligates the contractor to abide by the security requirements of DoD 5220.22-M, National

Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).

The Security Agreement (DD Form 441), executed between the government and all cleared facilities under the NISP, obligates the

Government to provide the contractor appropriate classification guidance for the protection of the classified information, furnished to or

generated by the con-tractor, in the performance of a classified contract. The Government fulfills this obligation by incorporating a

Security Requirements Clause and a DD Form 254 for each classified contract. The clause identifies the contract as a cla ssified

contract and the DD Form 254 provides classification guidance.

The DD Form 254 is a contractual specification. It is as important as any other specification in a contract. It is the vehicle that provides the

contractor with the security classification guidance necessary for the classified information to be received and generated under the contract

It was developed as a contractual document to capture all of the security requirements for a classified contract and legally bind the con-

tractor to adhering to them in the execution of the contract.

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires that a DD Form 254 be integrated in each classified con-tract. The DD Form 254

provides the contractor (or a subcontractor) security requirements and the classification guidance that is necessary to execute a classified

contract.

Ultimately, the purpose of the Indus-trial Security Program is to safe-guard classified information in the custody of contractors.

The security of the U.S. depends in part on the proper handling and storage of classified information re-leased to industry.
