Read the first 7 Classification Management, Marking & Safeguarding of Classified Information flashcards as text

  1. Which USPS method is authorized for a cleared contractor to send Secret material within the United States?

    Answer: Registered Mail

    Secret material may be sent within the US by USPS Registered Mail (or Priority Mail Express under set conditions), not Certified or First Class.

  2. Which USPS service is authorized for transmitting Confidential material but NOT Secret material?

    Answer: Certified Mail

    Certified Mail is acceptable for Confidential but does not provide the protection required for Secret.

  3. When double-wrapping classified material for mailing, which marking belongs only on the inner wrapper?

    Answer: The classification marking

    The inner wrapper shows the classification and addresses, while the outer wrapper must not reveal that the contents are classified.

  4. Can Top Secret material be sent through the U.S. Postal Service?

    Answer: No, USPS is never authorized for Top Secret

    Top Secret must move by approved couriers, cleared escorts, or secure communications, never through any USPS service.

  5. An employee hand-carries Secret documents to another cleared facility in a locked briefcase. How does the briefcase count toward wrapping requirements?

    Answer: It may serve as the outer wrapper

    A locked briefcase or similar container may serve as the outer wrapper, but the material still needs an inner wrapper.

  6. Which statement about classified information transmitted electronically is correct?

    Answer: It must use secure communications approved by the CSA or GCA

    Electronic transmission of classified information requires NSA-approved or otherwise CSA/GCA-approved secure communication systems.

  7. A transmittal letter is unclassified but has a Secret enclosure. How should the letter be marked?

    Answer: With the highest classification of the enclosure and a notation such as 'Unclassified when separated from enclosure'

    Transmittal documents carry the highest classification of their enclosures plus a notice showing their status once separated.
