The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) outlines its Operations Security (OPSEC) contract requirements to ensure the protection of sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure. The OPSEC process is integral for contractors working on government projects, where they must secure Critical Information and Indicators (CII) throughout the contract duration. Contractors are required to create an OPSEC Plan, detailing their security measures, which must be submitted to the contracting official. Exposure to CII entails strict protocols, including prohibiting the sharing of such information on social media or through personal emails. Additionally, the document emphasizes the regulation of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) and mandates proper handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to prevent compromise. Contractors must adhere to countermeasures such as shredding sensitive documents and reporting unauthorized disclosures. Overall, the document is essential for establishing a clear framework for managing and protecting sensitive information during contract execution, reflecting government priorities regarding security and information safeguarding within federal projects.
