This document outlines the Operations Security (OPSEC) and Portable Electronic Device (PED) requirements for contractors at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY). Its primary purpose is to protect sensitive, unclassified, and classified information, referred to as Critical Information and Indicators (CII), from unauthorized disclosure. Contractors are responsible for implementing an OPSEC Plan, which may be required based on the work's nature and environment, and must be submitted before the contract's start date. The document strictly prohibits the dissemination of CII to unauthorized third parties, including foreign entities, and forbids publicizing or posting shipyard-related information on personal emails or social media. PEDs are regulated due to their data recording and transmission capabilities, requiring coordination with a sponsor for approved use. The document lists examples of CII, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), operational schedules, and equipment details, alongside countermeasures like restricting verbal discussions, prohibiting photography in work areas, and proper disposal of sensitive documents. Non-compliance can lead to contract termination, removal of personnel, and potential criminal prosecution. This comprehensive policy underscores the critical importance of safeguarding sensitive information to protect PNSY personnel and equipment.
